Summary: Great Loopy Goopy Adventure
Review: How refreshing to read a children's book that offers up traditional family and social values in such a hip, hysterical venue. The characters jump (or should I say BOING!) off the page and right into your heart. Working late one night in the high-school chemistry lab, five ordinary teen-agers are exposed to a goopy concoction that turns them into Balloonatiks -- reluctant Superheroes with special powers and very off-beat personalities. Their adventures and camaraderie are reminiscent of the Three Musketeers and the Three Stooges. Their bravery and goofiness will delight and impress the young, and even the not-so-young reader. Erica Orloff engages us with her simple, funny and very witty writing style. Her characters' angsts are real, their situations fantastical. After meeting Flator, Squeeker, Airbrain, Bouncer and Sparky, I'll never look at a balloon in quite the same way again. I look forward to more of these adventures, Ms. Orloff. Hurry up and write a couple more. I need Holiday gifts for a whole lot of kids!

Summary: Great children's entertainment
Review: The balloonatiks book was great. I enjoyed the story so much I couldn't put it down until I finished it, and I hate anything to do with school or reading. My 5 year old sister read it with my Mom and thinks one of the characters is named after her. She also enjoyed the book. We can't wait until more come out. My Mom also purchased copies for my Cousins. Keep them coming.

Summary: Great Loopy Goopy Adventure
Review: Well Done! We need more books like this. It reaches a much needed audience of those pre-teeners that are looking for good, clear cut, easily definable heros. These guys are great examples to follow as they pull together to work for their cause. They're adorable and fun too.

Summary: The wonderful world of the Balloonatiks
Review: What a wonderful book for children and fun loving adults too. The set of characters are great and the book is written at a level to enhance childrens vocabulary to mature their thought processes. I've seen the pilot TV show and think the book is of the same high quality.
