“What are you waiting for? Read it now!†states Sydney Mocilan, H.S. editor and book critic for the Calvary Christian Academy Chronicle, Normal, IL. “It‘s a darned good, quick read!â€
Bereta‘s “Kid with the Cape†has been optioned for the movies by Hollywood producer Michael C. Edwards who explains, “The story is based on an excellent
screenplay which is in development now and will make a great movie someday soon. It pits a sweet, typical kid against some very nasty villains. Although there‘s some humor, it has a grittiness and realism that the Potter stories lack.â€
