Review
Praise for Iggy Loomis, Superkid in Training:
"Allison creates a comically put-upon older brother in Daniel in a lighthearted story that captures the chaos of everyday family life, superpowers or not." - Publishers Weekly
"The author of the Gilda Joyce, Psychic Investigator series piles on the yuks in this slapstick science-fiction opener...it doesnt take psychic powers to see how this could be a crowd pleaser." - Kirkus Reviews
