Media Reviews
*** FCBG PICK OF THE YEAR FOR YOUNGER READERS 2023 *** "A great new series with lots of action and excitement." * Federation of Children's Book Groups (FCBG) *
"They make a brilliant addition to any young readers bookshelf." * Dapo Adeola, Co-creator and illustrator of Look Up!, Waterstones Children's Book 2020 Winner *
"Fizzing with excitement, and with themes of kindness, friendship, creativity, courage and resilience these two snappily-written tales are a super-duper start to Alex Falase-Koya's action-packed series. Paula Bowles' two-colour illustrations are terrific fun and help ramp that action right up." * Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub *
"Marv and the Dino Attack is an enjoyable introduction to chapter books for younger readers to get their teeth into and a superb read aloud book which will keep listeners enthralled throughout." * Suzanne Horton, Just Imagine *
"A quick-paced, action-packed story with all the high stakes you need in a superhero story..." * Children's Books Ireland *
"Our students love the idea of an everyday boy turning into a superhero, and the action-packed adventure of Dino Attack had them completely gripped. The children really responded to Marv as a relatable, brave, and smart hero, and many described how empowered they felt reading about someone who uses his brain and his heart, not just superpowers, to save the day. The mix of exciting story and vibrant illustration has made this a particularly great hit with emerging and independent readers alike, and many are now asking for the other books in the Marv series!" * Wells Primary School *
