"Emerson has again created a book as witty as it is relatable." --Booklist "Dynamic and appealing . . . A vigorous celebration of outdoor, imaginative play." --Kirkus Reviews "The vibrant, stylized artwork is action-packed and reminiscent of manga, making this title ideal for fans of Doug TenNapel, Kazu Kibuishi, and Mike Maihack." --School Library Journal Praise for Recess Warriors: Hero is a Four-Letter Word "Emerson creates a rich world full of epic adventures and hilarious one-liners . . . It's highly imaginative and strikingly familiar to the real games kids play. Emerson's story is only matched by his artwork; richly detailed and textured, his stylized figures are imbued with dynamic movement, and the variety of skin tones among the kids on the playground is refreshing. This archly funny, spot-on comic adventure will hit home for elementary-school kids far and wide." --Booklist, starred review "A welcome throwback to the way recess should be." --Kirkus Reviews "An imaginative tale of a recess hero who rescues the playground from a zombie infestation . . . Give to fans of Doug TenNapel's Cardboard or Judd Winick's "Hilo" series." --School Library Journal "Now this is how recess should be--cooperative, technology-free fun . . . Readers will eagerly await the next volume." --The Bulletin "While it's hard to compete with recess, this book serves up enough excitement to be a close second." --Publishers Weekly
