Synopses & Reviews
Just so you know, this book is about how my life went completely berserk.
One day I'm snug in my comic-book drawing, loner existence, and the next I'm tramping through the wilderness looking for my dad. Who's been kidnapped. Because of an ancient family feud I always thought was a twisted figment of his imagination. (This is not the first time I've been wrong about something.)
Now my only company is a wannabe cop who just might be my superhero dream girl. And if I don't deliver some kind of mysterious "proof" to his kidnappers, my dad is toast. I've got some issues, but I don't really want to see him burned to a crisp.
Anyway, you in?
Synopsis
A teenaged graphic novelist's life changes dramatically when he receives word that his father's been kidnapped. If only his comic book superheroine, Signy the Super-Bad, were able to help him save the day.
About the Author
Daniel Ehrenhaft is the author of several dozen books for children and young adults—so many books, in fact, that he has lost count. He has often written under the pseudonym Daniel Parker (his middle name, which is easier to spell and pronounce than his last) and occasionally as Erin Haft. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Jessica, as well as a scruffy dog named Gibby and a psychotic cat named Bootsy. When he isn't writing, he tirelessly travels the globe on a doomed mission to achieve rock stardom. His musical credits include the composition of bluegrass soundtrack numbers for the epic straight-to-video B movie The Grave, a brief stint playing live rap music to baffled Filipino audiences in Hong Kong, and scoring the still-picture montage Election Trip. He once worked in a cheese shop. He was fired.
