Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-7-In his fourth appearance, Nolan stumbles onto an international spy ring and sets off a chain reaction of suspicions that lead to the arrests of his parents and his teacher. To complicate things, his archenemy, Bubba, has discovered that Nolan is indeed Shredderman. But instead of exposing his secret, the bully wants one thing: to be Shredderman's sidekick, The Bouncer. In the end, Nolan must reveal his identity in order to save his family and his favorite teacher. As in the earlier books, the protagonist uses his Web site to help move justice along and make sure the truth is seen. Readers will identify with him and the other kids in the school and will start rooting for the underdogs. Reluctant readers will enjoy the fast-moving plot and the black-and-white cartoons scattered throughout. The book could also be used to teach awareness about bullying and tolerance of kids who are different.-Kim Carlson, Monticello High School, IA

From Booklist
Gr. 3-5. In the fourth book about Nolan, a nerdy-looking boy who has secretly created a cybersuperhero to deal with a school bully, the mystery of Shredderman's inventor becomes a news item on national television. Just as the media noisily intrude on the quiet town of Cedar Valley, Nolan stumbles into a mystery, discovering a packet of secret documents and taking some incriminating photos. The pressure to keep his identity as Shredderman's creator takes its toll on Nolan's family and his teacher, but Nolan finds a new ally in an old enemy, someone he has underestimated in a fundamental way. Writing in first person, Nolan tells his own story in a snappy style that helps make this such an appealing chapter book. Despite his classmates' clear admiration for Shredderman, Nolan still has moments of loneliness as long as his secret identity is kept a secret. Carolyn Phelan

A new and exciting Shredderman adventure, Aug 11 2005
By KidsReads - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shredderman: Enemy Spy (Hardcover)
Nolan Byrd is a nerd. By his own admission. But he also is a cyberspace superhero named Shredderman. His website, Shredderman.com, stands for truth and justice. Only his parents and his bouncer sidekick, Mr. Green, are aware of his secret identity. No one in Nolan's elementary school would dream that Nolan is also their hero. On his website, Shredderman does good works. For example, when Bubba Bixby beats up other children, Shredderman writes about it on his site for all of cyberspace to see. After Bubba has been "shredded," he stops picking on others. Well, almost.The kids at Nolan's school and their parents begin talking about Shredderman --- so much so that a local reporter named Chatty Adams and others are dying to find out who Shredderman really is. News stories about the superhero start appearing on local television. Nolan's parents ask him, as Shredderman, to lay low for a while. But Nolan believes that truth and justice can never be put on hold, under any circumstances.
But instead of arresting the spies, the police first arrest Nolan's parents and Mr. Green! When Nolan tries to tell Chatty Adams to stop saying that his parents are spies, she turns quite nasty and yells at Nolan and his schoolmates.
Can Nolan figure out a way to get his parents and sidekick out of jail --- and settle the score with Chatty Adams --- without having to give up his secret identity? You won't want to miss the exciting turns of events in Wendelin Van Draanen's fourth Shredderman adventure.

Shredderman - All Books of this Series, Feb 12 2007

This review is from: Shredderman: Enemy Spy (Paperback)
We absolutely loved these books. My son is almost 10 and we read them togehter, Although these are very easy reading for my son's age, we read them together because we enjoy them more that way. We both laughed out loud and really got into the stories. Often we ended up missing the absolute, latest possible bedtime curfew because we just HAD to read on! We would be very interested in other books by this author -- although it seems that her others are geared toward girl readers.

Shredderman Secret Identity, Feb 23 2008
By D. Ventura "mother of three" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shredderman: Enemy Spy (Paperback)
This is a GREAT SERIES for young readers. My third grader coundn't get enough of them. What a wonderful sight it is to see a child so excited about reading. Plus, this author (Wendelin Van Draanen) lives in our area, (Central Coast of CA) so my son has started to read her other books as well. Helping out his neighbor, as he puts it. We found the series at our local library, but had to have a set of our own it was SO GOOD. You can't go wrong with SHREDDERMAN.
