This was a really fun listen. I loved catching up with all the characters from favorite movies and comics. Great narrator.

This was a really fun mystery featuring my favorite Young Avenger. I loved how Poston really made this story her own, and hope there are more installments. This book was very fun and readable. I also loved the narrator of this book who really got the spirit of the character.

I’m a massive MCU fan but have never read the comics, and I didn’t realize that there was such a huge difference between Kate’s backstory in the comics and the one I’m familiar with through the Hawkeye TV show. I think this is super important to know from the get-go, because I was so confused by a few of the references at first.

Speaking of the references, I loved the author’s sly references to (what I assume) must be things she loves - a boy wearing a Camp Half-Blood t-shirt, a bookshop in Brooklyn named Books are Magical, video games, and lots of superhero name drops and cameos. The action is very constant through the book, and while there are a few places where the story lulls a bit, I felt like it picked up quickly and held my attention for the most part.

I read this book and then listened to it in the car with my sons (ages 10 and 13) and they really liked it as well except for the light romance. I think it’s because they’re boys! They enjoyed the humor and said that it enhanced the story for them.

I would definitely recommend this fun story to any Marvel fan!

I loved this audiobook! I'm a big Marvel fan and have always loved Hawkeye so I was a bit nervous going into it but I think Ashley Poston did an amazing job portraying Kate Bishop's character and keeping up with the funny, witty banter you would expect from Kate Bishop/Hawkeye. The story was fast-paced and interesting; I listened to it in a day because I didn't want to put it down! I do enjoy YA novels but I think this book is also a good fit for adults who like Marvel or superhero stories in general and want a fun mystery and adventure story. Bringing in other young superheroes and having Lucky the Pizza Dog added to the entertainment. If you don't read many superhero books but like watching the major Marvel movies or enjoyed the Hawkeye series on Disney+, then this is a good book for you. The narrator, Courtney Patterson, also did a fantastic job so I certainly recommend the audio format!

I'm really enjoying Disney's push to tell more stories from their second tier heroes, which has resulted in a lot of stories featuring girls and young women. If people enjoyed the Hawkeye series, they will already be familiar with Kate (or if they read the comics). Her personality comes through well here. The mystery and the science/magic stuff works well. It's a solid, enjoyable read. Maybe not something you'll be jumping up and down to share with all of your friends, but definitely still worth the reading time. Kate is the best Hawkeye; that's just a fact.

I LOVED this series. I was super excited to see that it was turned into a chapter book as well! Kate Bishop is the other Hawkeye: the one who is snarky, humorous and super loud. Of course, I am a sucker for any super hero with a super awesome dog and Lucky is pretty fantastic. Between Kate's witty comebacks and Lucky's pizza eating shenanigans, this novel was super fun and engaging. I loved that America Chavez such a major character in this novel too.

Kate does take on the notorious Kingpin to stop a catastrophic event from happening. If Kingpin collects all the books with the sleeper codes in them, he could take over the world... for evil. Kate has to collect the books first and stop it from happening. I love that the whole book was essentially a manhunt... for books.

What I LOVED most: the ending (when you get there, you'll know why), Kate's never ending chatter, Clint
