Clark Keane, sixth grade superhero Eagleboy, would do anything for his friends. Climb a way-too-high rickety treehouse? Sure. Create a superhero alter ego for Murphy instead of studying for finals? No question. Brave the grumpy neighbor’s Mutant House in the dark to find Murphy’s lost ball? Well…if he has to.
So when Murphy accuses Clark of being a bad friend because of one teensy joke, Clark is outraged. Shots fire, balls fly, and friends pick sides. No treehouse is safe from the feud. But friendship might not be the only thing in danger. Strange things have begun to happen on Oak Street. A monster has awoken—and, of course it’s all Murphy’s fault! Clark must transform into Eagleboy—fearless, free, Savior of the Skies—to protect the neighborhood from his friend’s mistakes and maybe even the new hero, Murphdog, who has lassoed his way on the scene.
Will Clark find a way to fix his friendships and work with Murphdog to save the day? Or is the Savior of the Skies better off flying solo? Find out in The Great Friend Feud, the first novel in The Eagleboy Exploits, a Christian action-adventure series written for 10-12 year-olds!
An excellent book for middle grade! I love the main character who is a somewhat nervous middle schooler, but his alter ego is a super hero. A great message for young readers!
Furiously energetic, hilarious, and packed with kinetic action scenes—imagination runs wild as a young boy creates his own comics and begins to blur the lines between made-up powers against supervillains and his real-life struggles with his friends. A unique premise, the superhero antics build toward a powerful revelation on repentance and forgiveness, accessible from the tops of a neighborhood treehouse to the high-flying skies of Eagleboy.
Loved this book! The author makes ordinary characters come alive, from the neighborhood kids to the old man down the street, everyone becomes a part of this super hero story. Can't wait for the sequel!
