“I read Epilectra to my three kids- ages 10, 8 and 6, and they were mesmerized from page one. They loved the graphics, and the exciting plot line. They didn’t want me to stop reading so they could find out what happened next. And then when we did finish Book 1, they asked when Book 2 would be out as it ended on a cliffhanger. As a mom, I also appreciated that the book had diverse characters and provided a wonderful story about everyday heroes, and brought discussions to our dinner table about disability and overcoming obstacles.”

“My daughter, a 7th grader, received this book and then in the next hour and a half read it. She then asked my wife and I if we can get the other books, and proceeded to go to the library to find them. Needless to say, to have a tween drop what they are doing, read an entire story and then ask for more is the greatest review one can receive!”

“My daughter LOVED this book! She found the story extremely engaging, and was completely captivated by the characters. She also really appreciated how different this book is from other graphic novels she's read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that is looking for an awesome super hero story that is unique and inspiring!”

“This was my first graphic novel, and I couldn't put it down… It's such a clever and creative way to address the issue by helping eliminate the stigma thru disability empowerment. As the superhero Epilectra's world started to get more fantastical, taking on new types of villains, it was fun to let myself go and enjoy the ride. And the illustrations are just wonderful. Although a fun, relatable and educational read for any age, it feels like middle schoolers will really enjoy it - whether they have a disability or not. I couldn't wait to get to each next chapter and each next story. And now I can't wait for Book 2!”

“I had the opportunity to be one of the first to read this book to my kids. From the story to the visuals, they were glued from the start. They were even shocked when it ended and wanted more. The book left them with a big cliff hanger. They said, ‘they can’t wait for book 2 to come out!’ As a parent, I appreciate how the book is educational well as entertaining.”

“I really value the approach Epilectra is taking, especially with its focus on children’s overall well-being. Re-framing the narrative as ’super’ rather than ’sub’ could make a huge difference. It could even help the child take responsibility (as someday they must) for their own healing. Like all superpowers, it’s a burden sometimes but a blessing at others. Kids are smart — they get it.”

“Epilectra and her teammates use their challenges to do good in the world while creating a better understanding of people with disabilities, and society needs us to be doing the same. With education, collaboration, and advocacy, we can make a positive impact. The stories in Epilectra encourage people in both the disabled and able-bodied communities to do just that."

"Epilectra exemplifies people with epilepsy. Like this character, they have enormous potential if they're able to tap into it. Furthermore, it does take a type of 'superpower' to successfully manage this challenging condition."
