Nolan Byrd is a nerd. By his own admission. But he also is a cyberspace superhero named Shredderman. His website, Shredderman.com, stands for truth and justice. Only his parents and his bouncer sidekick, Mr. Green, are aware of his secret identity. No one in Nolan's elementary school would dream that Nolan is also their hero. On his website, Shredderman does good works. For example, when Bubba Bixby beats up other children, Shredderman writes about it on his site for all of cyberspace to see. After Bubba has been "shredded," he stops picking on others. Well, almost.

The kids at Nolan's school and their parents begin talking about Shredderman --- so much so that a local reporter named Chatty Adams and others are dying to find out who Shredderman really is. News stories about the superhero start appearing on local television. Nolan's parents ask him, as Shredderman, to lay low for a while. But Nolan believes that truth and justice can never be put on hold, under any circumstances.

But instead of arresting the spies, the police first arrest Nolan's parents and Mr. Green! When Nolan tries to tell Chatty Adams to stop saying that his parents are spies, she turns quite nasty and yells at Nolan and his schoolmates.

Can Nolan figure out a way to get his parents and sidekick out of jail --- and settle the score with Chatty Adams --- without having to give up his secret identity? You won't want to miss the exciting turns of events in Wendelin Van Draanen's fourth Shredderman adventure.

We absolutely loved these books. My son is almost 10 and we read them togehter, Although these are very easy reading for my son's age, we read them together because we enjoy them more that way. We both laughed out loud and really got into the stories. Often we ended up missing the absolute, latest possible bedtime curfew because we just HAD to read on! We would be very interested in other books by this author -- although it seems that her others are geared toward girl readers.

This is a GREAT SERIES for young readers. My third grader coundn't get enough of them. What a wonderful sight it is to see a child so excited about reading. Plus, this author (Wendelin Van Draanen) lives in our area, (Central Coast of CA) so my son has started to read her other books as well. Helping out his neighbor, as he puts it. We found the series at our local library, but had to have a set of our own it was SO GOOD. You can't go wrong with SHREDDERMAN.

My son was really looking forward to getting this book and has loved reading it. Thanks very much for a quick and pleasant transaction!

My son, age 9, loved all 4 Shredderman books and consumed each book as fast as humanly possible. The biggest issue I have with the series is that there are not more of them yet.

I liked it because it seems like the very last book. Are you going to write any more, Wendelin? I'd be happy if you will.
Your fan of Shredderman,
