Praise for Recess Warriors: Hero is a Four-Letter Word
“Emerson creates a rich world full of epic adventures and hilarious one-liners . . . It’s highly imaginative and strikingly familiar to the real games kids play.

This archly funny, spot-on comic adventure will hit home for elementary-school kids far and wide.” —Booklist, starred review
“A welcome throwback to the way recess should be.” —Kirkus Reviews
