Comic book readers will get all the inside jokes, asides, and allusions in this novel. Everyone else will love it, too. Lyga, a lifelong comic fan, put all his arcane knowledge to work in a story about a geeky high school student out to impress his hero, comic book writer Brian Bendis, with his own creation. He's aided (sometimes) by a quirky and borderline psychotic girl from school, nicknamed "Goth Girl" for her fashion tendencies. Scott Brick does his usual zealous performance but sounds too old for most of the parts. No matter how talented he may be, Brick can't sound like a 16-year-old comic geek. A younger reader would be more convincing. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

Gr 9 Up-Barry Lyga's first novel (Houghton Mifflin, 2006) about a smart, geeky, artistic 15-year-old boy comes to life in Scott Brick's performance. Fanboy lives life with a chip on his shoulder, almost content to feel bitter about his parents' divorce, his stepfather, his mother's current pregnancy, the fools at school who include both teachers and fellow students, and his general loneliness. But he also has a sense of humor and some perspective, so he's not entirely alienated from his peers; in fact, he has a friend, Cal, a star athlete, who also is very smart and shares Fanboy's affection for graphic novels. Then Fanboy meets Kyra, a goth girl with requisite attitudeand a body almost as alluring as Dina's, the school's senior heart throb. Brick provides fitting voices for both the teen and adult charactersincluding real life comics artist Brian Michael Bendisthat inculcate the audio with almost cinematic quality. Here's a prose novel that includes lots of descriptive detail about graphic novels, an essentially visual medium, rendered into an aural performance with huge success. Fanboy's embarrassments and eventual personal victories, Kyra's unmasking, and the credibility of their environments at home and at school are vivid and compelling, thanks to both Lyga and Brick."Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, CA"
