Things are not going well at Starwood Elementary! A squirrel is running through the halls. A tree fell on the gym. The principal is acting weird! Can Freddie save the day with his Zapato Power?
A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Book 2012--Fiction for Younger Readers
The text allows young readers both to believe in Freddie's astonishing powers and to see how they actually might be, well, not all that astonishing: maybe it just seems to Freddie that he can run faster than a train and 'search the whole building in just two blinks.' Short chapters and abundant cartoonish illustrations make this an appealing choice for reluctant readers who have their own superhero dreams.--Children's Literature
The story is action-packed cartoons and superhero-worthy action words scrawled across the page, giving the book appeal to reluctant readers and children just getting into chapter books. Fans of the previous titles will appreciate this continuation.--School Library Journal
