The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man Audiobook

Quotes

• “Filled with sklurps and ska-runches, with adventure and wit.”

  — Chicago Tribune

• Chabon ventures into picture books with a tongue-in-cheek superhero story that soars…Young caped crusaders and Chabon’s adult fans alike will grin at this self-consciously witty portrait.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• “Marc Thompson brings verve to his reading of Michael Chabon’s first picture book. He hits just the right authoritative larger-than-life tones with traces of smugness or petulance as Awesome Man brags or finds himself foiled. At its core, this is a story about coping with a bad mood, but Chabon and Thompson make it so much fun that no child will mind the lesson. Awesome, indeed.”

• “Chabon’s first-person narrative is that of a boy—zealous, goofy, and anti-sister—and the story reads like the play-by-play antics of an action figure in a kid’s game.”
