This book was fun to read and follow along with the adventures of the kids even for this older guy. I could relate to the antics and challenges the kids were facing as I recognize some of them from my own childhood as a boy growing up in a small west Texas town. A thoroughly enjoyable book to read. I would recommend it for anyone, 4th grade or higher that likes to read kid adventures and problem solving that goes with it.

I throughly enjoyed the adventures of Sebastian Reckless...new and quirky, funny and a smart read. Doesn't talk down to kids...I've been a teacher for thirty years and the boys in my class keep my copy circulating all year long. They can't wait for the next book! Just wonderful and highly recommended!

Sebastian Reckless is the type of book I was looking for when I was a kid, a superhero story that turns the genre around from the inside one laser blast at a time. A subtlely subversive epic where the 10 year-old hero Sebastian has a note from the President that he can skip school (to, you know, keep the country safe), demons do business in the banking industry, and a climatic scene that literally takes place in Hell (and back!). Add to this Sebastian's constantly shape-shifting assault machines (beautifully depicted in the glossy-colored illustrations, idiosyncratically drawn by the author himself), three-headed security guards, and a liberal sprinkling of Greek mythology references, and you have the type of book I would want my child reading - if you're interested in rearing a literate, innovative, wit-filled child. Funny, poingant, Pythonesque - the screenplay for the inevitable film version will easily write itself.
Great Book!
