"Hilarious, hectic, and gleefully unpredictable . . . The cartoon action is frenzied
and fun, right till the last absurd, clever turn." --Kirkus Reviews on Zeroes to Heroes

The Week Junior Favorite Graphic Novel of the Year

★ "[Horner's] unique humor throughout the text provides genuine laughs and unexpected character reactions. . . Horner pulls back for moments of serenity, as the two protagonists struggle with making friends and finding their place, which further adds to the charm and authenticity of a story that could easily have become cliché. His artistic style feels reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes, giving a simple and timeless feel to the book while simultaneously adding to the ridiculousness of the situations and the superhero action. A surprise hit." -Booklist (starred review)

"Packed with witty humor and thrilling adventure, this graphic novel will draw fans of 'Captain Underpants' and belongs on middle grade library shelves. . . Horner skillfully delves into deep themes such as parental expectations, social acceptance, and self-worth in a manner that will resonate with middle graders. The exciting build-up to the epic climax of the story will keep readers wanting more and eager for the promised follow-up." -School Library Journal

"Horner channels vintage Cartoon Network-esque tomfoolery in this hilarious graphic novel romp . . . [The] illustrations are inviting, and the plot is replete with clever gags stuffed into every panel . . . An easy-going, fun-to-read treat that juxtaposes belly laughs with thoughtful explorations of anxiety." --Publishers Weekly

"Raucous . . . Action-packed artwork feels reminiscent of comic strips or animated shows . . . A fun-filled adventure that celebrates the true superpowers of the middle-grade imagination: chaos and creativity." --Kirkus Reviews

"On the first day of school, a new kid and an evil genius are about to collide. Our hero may be invisible--but The Adventures of Invisible Boy can't be missed!" --Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth

"Wonderfully fun and inventive! Doogie Horner is truly a mad scientist of comics, and he's created an endlessly delightful madcap adventure of mayhem and mischief in this book." --Chad Sell, author of The Cardboard Kingdom series
