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.”

“A welcome throwback to the way recess should be.”

“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.”

“Now this is how recess should be—cooperative, technology-free fun . . . Readers will eagerly await the next volume.”

“While it’s hard to compete with recess, this book serves up enough excitement to be a close second.”
