Bailey never meant to be the bad guy in the bulletproof robotic suit, but with every mission he gets closer to finding his father . . . and he can't stop now.
JEREMY DAUBER grew up devouring classic science fiction and comic books. A professor at Columbia University, he is the author of several adult nonfiction works including Jewish Comedy- A Serious History. Mayhem and Madness is his debut novel for young readers. He lives in New York City with his wife and his three young children, who insist on making him the supervillain in their games every single time.
"Clever twists and turns here along with strong character work.
Bailey is a compelling protagonist, and the author smartly shades
his parents enough to make their relationship just as interesting.
. . . A nifty mystery with pleasant superhero twists." —Kirkus
Reviews
"Bailey's comically honest narrative voice will pull readers along
for the adventure with its endlessly engaging style. Dauber's debut
novel offers a hero's journey from the perspective of a villain,
perfect for fans of superhero stories in search of something
new."—Booklist
"the high-flying action and military-grade violence are a selling
point in and of themselves for this novel, which ends with some
suggestion of more Mayhem to come."—The Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books
