"True to its title, -Karate Prom creates a joy-filled story about two teens who want to be together so badly, they are willing to fight for it. A tale for -lovers and fighters alike." -School Library Journal, starred review

"The story feels like a playful tribute to '80s pop culture that's gone off the rails." -Kirkus

"It's a fun, rapidly paced adventure well-suited for anyone who misses old-fashioned NES beat-'em-ups." -PW

"Teens will be tickled by the humorous plotlines and outrageous expressions here, as well as the oft-tested strength of Don and Sam's blossoming relationship." -Booklist

"This zany genre mash-up and its dose of positive masculinity has broad enough appeal to belong in every collection." -BCCB
