“Crossman Industries may own the town, but it doesn’t own Matthew Pine. Scenes of sneaky suspense and action-packed sequences drive the plot to its climax… the narrative is tense and fast-paced, engaging readers from the initial car accident to the final standoff. A page-turning superhero story.” —Kirkus Reviews

"A rare story that empowers kids from regular walks of life... Heroes are not just comic book legends defined by their powers, but everyday people who simply do what is right." —Early Reader Review

"When Matt faces trouble in his hometown, the teen and his friends soon find out they're not losers after all. In this young-adult gem, Demarest creates genuine characters whose loyalty and courage are tested. While doing the right thing isn't always easy, sometimes it's even dangerous." —Nicole Sorrell, author of The Art of Living Series

"A sinister plot that could prove deadly on a grand scale. Matt's not the only one who learns to appreciate a special power. Along the way, they all learn that sometimes a disability is an ability in disguise-it all depends on how you use it." —Fran Borin, author of The Ghost Adventures of Orion O'Brien Series

"The characterization of Tess, a non-speaking autistic girl, is not only extremely respectful and accurate, but something to be commended as an example as a superb representation of a capable autistic individual." —Early Reader Review
