GeekGrlzRevengeReview"Blaze is a hero for the modern age!" - Jennifer Ziegler, author of How to Not Be Popular"Blaze made me laugh...and cringe...and laugh again. The blend of snark and heart will keep you turning the pages." - Mandy Hubbard, author of Prada and Prejudice"Laurie Boyle Crompton's super power is bringing the funny. Readers should make this book their trusty side-kick." - Eileen Cook, author of Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood"BLAZE absolutely pops off the page. I loved this book!" - Robin Mellom, author of Ditched: A Love Story"Blaze (or Love in the Time of Supervillains) is at turns funny, cringe•worthy and heartbreaking . . . Don't miss out." - RT Book Reviews"First-time novelist Crompton handily establishes Blaze as a diehard comics fan who's not entirely comfortable in her own skin; her funny-crass interactions with her friends and her younger brother make for entertaining reading . . .the novel forces readers to reconsider the way they treat their peers, especially girls, over their sexual behavior, real or imagined." - Publishers WeeklyAbout the AuthorWhen she was 17, Laurie Boyle Crompton painted her first car hot pink using 40 cans of spray paint. It dried really drippy but looked great when she was flying down the back roads of Butler, PA where she grew up. She now lives near NYC in Queens, but maintains a secret identity in New Paltz, NY where she and her family can often be found tromping through the forest. Visit lboylecrompton.com
