Anderson's creepy setting and storytelling reminds me a little of Neil Gaiman. Two young friends are thrown into a life-threatening game that will resolve a feud between two inter-dimensional species. Funny, compelling, and a perfect read for young boys.

Ever since her divorce, Birdie Lee has been trying to do it all. She is a grocery-store cashier who does her best to be a good mom to teenagers Martin, a lovable geek, and Kelly, who finds her mother terribly embarrassing. One morning, after the kids have gone to school, Birdie goes after a stubborn stain in the bathroom. An ill-advised mixture of all the cleaning products in the house knocks her out cold; on waking, Birdie possesses miraculous cleaning powers and an uncanny ability to anticipate when children are in danger. After her initial shock, Birdie revels in her newfound power and sets about protecting kids everywhere. Meanwhile, she realizes that the company behind the popular Patriot Pops cereal, New Cosmos Industries, run by self-made millionaires Lex and Patty Osborne, is not quite the innocent, all-American, family-values operation it purports to be. Super Mom has found her archnemesis. This was a fun read. A little hard to imagine, but something enjoyable. What mom doesn't want to save their kids (and all kids) from evil?
