It’s not every day that you read something that is totally out of this world and still really brings you home – like home to the 1980s. Tommy And The Order Of Cosmic Champions is one such book that might do just that. When I first picked this book up, I wasn’t sure what to expect; something akin to He-Man or Conan I guess. What I quickly found out was that this was just the sort of book I wish I had found when I was a kid, which being a child of the 80s, was many years ago! Tommy and the Order Of Cosmic Champions felt like the 80s, it encompassed so many great memories of the 80s, and for me, this book was the seminal coming of age fantasy book that has some really deep and thoughtful moments. Here’s a short synapsis of Order Of Cosmic Champions: When life supplies eleven-year-old Tommy Grant with some unfavorable circumstances intruding on his otherwise tranquil life in rural 1980’s Ohio, he retreats into the spell-binding Order of Cosmic Champions. When he discovers that the largely successful animated program and toy line is holding a nationwide ”Create-A-Character” contest where applicants submit their action figure designs, Tommy knows he has to enter as surely as he knows his own name.But when Tommy’s character design fails to win the contest, he finds his world crumbling from all sides. And there is only one way he knows to fix it.What follows is a whirlwind coming-of-age adventure of righting wrongs, overcoming perilous obstacles, confronting our inner demons, and challenging the limits of reality. In this waxing nostalgic and imaginative fantasy, readers will discover what excitement lies waiting when you take risks and conquer your fears. Only one question remains: In the final hour when you heed the call, the courage to give your all, will you stand or fall? The book is up for pre-order on Amazon right now, and if you want to learn more about Tommy and the Order OF Cosmic Champions, you can head over to their website and check it out! Theres a cool mini-comic book, some action figures that will be up for sale soon, and a lot of really great information to really suck the reader into the world that Tommy himself was pulled into!
