“Yancey has hit one out of the park with this original, engaging and sequel-worthy read.” Kirkus Review (starred)

“Yancey deftly leavens the heavier plot elements with humor; this story of a ‘big-headed loser’ is as funny as it is scary. Alfred's adventures are not the only element of this tale that is extraordinary—the reluctant hero is, too.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“A white-knuckle, page-turning read.” ---Booklist

“Inventive and delightfully original, this fast-paced tale plants ancient legend in a modern world filled with speeding Ferraris and knights in business suits.” The Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Alfred Kropp: The Seal of Solomon

"A great book for boys, as well as reluctant readers, The Seal of Solomon tells a rip-roaring story that teens will love and won't be able to put down."—School Library Journal, starred review

“Fans of the first episode will not be disappointed.”—Kirkus Reviews

Alfred Kropp: The Thirteenth Skull

“Part James Bond thriller, part King Arthur fantasy . . . non stop action.” Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians

“Brings new meaning to the idea of a life-and-death adventure. The action is fast, furious and nonstop – and so is the fun.” James Patterson, author of Maximum Ride.

“Fast paced from start to finish, with numerous chase scenes (by car, horse, and other means), flying bullets, betrayals, and more, this is a great book for action fans and reluctant readers.” School Library Journal
