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.
"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

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

"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
