About the Author:
Despite his initial calling to be a musketeer, Frédéric Maupomé studied mathematics and became a teacher. His lessons were full of princesses and superheroes, and not so full of math, so he decided to quit education to write children's books. His very first book, Pirateries, was picked by the French department of education as recommended reading. He began writing comics in 2010 with Anuki. He lives in Toulouse with his wife, their two kids, his piano, and we'll not say how many swords.
David fell into the world of comics even before he learned to read. After studying art history, he moved to Poland, where the letter V doesn't exist, so he launched his career with a funny pseudonym, Dawid. Returning to France, he joined different cartoonist workshops in Tours, producing drawings, games, and cartoons for young audiences, schoolbooks, and newspapers. His published work includes two books with Delphine Cuveele (Passe-Passe and Dessus Dessous) and the Supers series (winner of the 2016 ABCD youth prize) with Frédéric Maupomé.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4-7-Starting at a new school can be hard for anyone, but it's especially tough for Matt and his younger siblings, who are originally from space and have superpowers. Matt worries that if anyone discovers their abilities, or that they have no parents, they'll have to go into hiding again or "end up a lab rat." If that means Matt can't fight back when he's bullied, so be it. But when disaster strikes the city, their alien superpowers may be just the thing needed to save the day. Featuring heartfelt and realistic sibling relationships, school drama, and a fiery mystery, this story has wide appeal. The panels are neat and filled with warm and inviting colors and art. A French import, this first in a trilogy won the Youth Award from ACBD (French Association of Comics Critics). Readers will be left wanting more-here's hoping the publisher translates and releases the other titles soon. VERDICT An enticing series start for graphic novel fans.-Jenna Friebel, Oak Park Public Library, ILα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
