Fantastic kids story that lead to much more reading!
This story truly sparked my 8-year-old son’s imagination. He read the entire series in a matter of about a month. When there was some downtime between purchasing the next book, he would re-read the book he was currently on.By the time he got to the last book series, he finished about 500 pages worth in 24 hours. If your child has previously only read graphic novels and comics, this would be an amazing transition to more words and chapters. In our case, it has resulted in lists, games, and unique characters my son made up to complement these books. I Highly recommend it to your young reader!

My son is addicted to reading this book
This book has my son hooked! So much so that I already went and found the next part of the series before he was through the first 3 chapters. Because, he wouldn’t stop talking about how much he was going to need the rest of the books and how I was going to need to read it when he was done with it. Not before though because he wanted to watch my reactions when I read it. To the author kudos for such a riveting book my 8year old rushes through his homework to pick it back up. I can’t wait to read it myself.

Great books for all kids who have big imaginations and want to be heroes!
Any time my kids beg me to keep reading, I know it’s a good book. I have read aloud to them for many years and I’ll continue until they ask me to stop. My kids are 11, 13, and 15 (boy, girl, boy) and they loved this set. We read all three books and my kids would have read a 4th if there had been one. My daughter was a little lost, but it’s mainly because she doesn’t always pay attention (she plays on her phone) so she missed key pieces of information. My boys hung on every word though and at times they were more aware of what was happening and what they thought was going to happen than I was. Kids want to be super heroes! They imagine themselves being able to fly and defeat villains. These books tell about a boy who thinks he can do nothing, but then realizes he has powers. It was funny, entertaining, and had good lessons. The bad guys lost; the good guys won. It ended well, and there wasn’t any bad language (I think they said “sucks” once, but I substituted if for “stinks.” Overall, we all liked it a lot!

My son does not like to read…
I was discouraged when I received the book. I was aware that it was 1-3 books, but I didn’t expect them all to be in one book. “Great. He (my 9 y.o.) is never going to read it.”, I thought.My 9 y.o. son does not like to read. He does not have the attention span for sitting around and read a book. The only time he would read is if the book has pictures (it doesn’t have to be a graphic novel, but some sort of pictures to go with the story). So, when I received the Epic Zero 1-3 book, I was discouraged.However, I sat down and read the first chapter with him before bedtime to get a feel of the book and to see his reaction. To my surprise, he ENJOYED IT VERY VERY VERY MUCH. He went on and finished the book within 3 days and asked for volume 4 after that! I have since purchased the 4th book as well as downloaded the “extra” in PDF format and my son, of course, has read all of them.Epic Zero was his first book without any illustration. Thank you, R.L. Ullman for writing the whole series! You showed my son that it was possible to fall in love with a book without pictures. Please continue writing the series!!

A great series of books and our 10 year old loves them! We’ve been looking for something to keep his attention since he finished Captain Underpants and the Dogman series a couple of years ago and we’re so glad to have found these books! Definitely a more age appropriate reading level, story is more mature but still has humourous moments and he finds them really entertaining. Overall, a great transition series for young readers and we definitely recommend!

If you’re looking for a fabulous read for your son or daughter, no need to look any further. The Epic Zero Series was our best discovery of 2020! Please don’t be put off by the cover. I hesitated before purchase, as I felt that the boy depicted on the front looked far too babyish to want to hear his story. Apologies to the illustrator – you draw well, but make Elliott look older. Otherwise you’re putting teens off & this book would definitely appeal to them too.As a family we’ve all enjoyed Elliott’s adventures – what a wealth of fantastic characters and a consistently great storyline throughout. Now we’re all hoping that a film company will take this on board and bring Epic Zero alive on the big screen. We’re confirmed fans for evermore.
