Jaime D. Buckley is a fine storyteller of heroic tales, and also a wonderful artist. I’ve enjoyed working with him, and look forward to working with him again!

…if you have a chance, check out Buckley’s Wanted Hero series.

Jaime Buckley makes good use of Wendell’s hilariously unaware and over-the-top personality. The use of punctuation and general formatting also help to further emphasis the humor.

His imagination is endless and his characters are so personable, they could be real! Our family was enthralled from beginning to end! I would recommend his work for ALL ages!

This is a classic underdog story and I cannot wait to see where Wendell ends up. Wendell is actually a really funny character. He is self-deprecating, awkward, and some of his inner (and spoken) dialogue is hilarious.

We all want to be important and Prelude to a Hero really showcases that.

I was always a sucker for comedy, but this book had me laughing till me cheeks hurt. Wendell has a way of sucking you into the story and if by the time your done with the first 3 chapters you aren’t asking for more, I would be very surprised.

…an epic story that will leave you craving for more.

The writing in Prelude to a Hero was incredible. The narrating and inner thoughts of Wendell (the main character) were really amusing.

You know that awkward guy who never tries to be funny, but everything he does and says just becomes hilarious?

Wendell is that person.

The effort and heart he has obviously put into his work, the characters and this world is mind-blowing. Although he claims to be ‘just a boring human’, this is definitely not the case. His imagination is amazing, so it’s little wonder that I enjoy his work so much.

Jaime is an amazingly talented storyteller, artist, and illustrator. The first time I saw his work I was blown away — and he’s only gotten better since.

Prelude to a Hero is a book that I may not have picked up off the shelves. It’s different from the books I normally read and I’m glad I gave it a chance. It’s an easy read and relatively short, it gives the reader just enough information to hook them in for more. More is what I’m now craving.

I loved the ‘under-dog’ aspect of it! Also, I really liked that this book was originally a comic book…I think younger boys (especially) will love Prelude To A Hero!
