Geisel Award-winner Ethan Long shows that every kid has the power to conquer school-day worries once and for all.

In the darkest of nights, when all else is lost, Scotty is ready to vanquish any foe. After all, that's what a superhero does.

But this hero is about to come face-to-face with his greatest fear, his only weakness: the first day of school!

But just when Scotty thinks all hope is lost, he realizes that school is no match for a whole team of heroes--his new friends.

Praise for this book

"Long's graphite pencil and digitally colored illustrations are packed with gross-out details that will have kids in stitches." --Kirkus Reviews on FANGSGIVING

"Ingenious. . . . This engaging picture book celebrates the gathering of family and friends; helping young readers to understand and appreciate the value of giving thanks." --School Library Journal on FANGSGIVING

"Long's sense of comic timing is utter perfection. Hysterically plays on kids' stereotyped notions of love, hopefully putting some to rest." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on VALENSTEINS

"There are lots of laughs to be found in Long's twilit cartoons and the banter among the characters" --Publishers Weekly on VALENSTEINS

"Long's dark, ghostly palette sets an appropriately eerie mood, and he has a lot of fun with the cuddly animals' reign of terror." --Publishers Weekly, starred review, on FRIGHT CLUB

"The lighthearted tone makes this Halloween tale a perfect pick for younger children." --Booklist on FRIGHT CLUB

"High-octane, bright pictures. . . . may well provide a boost of confidence to wary, school-bound superheroes." --Publishers Weekly
