Reviews
Praise for The Fantastic Freeze Ray (Super Villains in Training #1): ""Move over, good guys, this is villain school!... Lourenço's full-color illustrations are engaging, and the ratio of text to art makes this book feel less overwhelming for kids ready to take the jump up from early readers... [This book is] a fun spin on the theme of resilience."" -- School Library Journal
