“I am impressed with Weaver as a young author and really enjoyed  the storyline of his novel, Speedsuit Powers!! I know it’s a book young people will get a lot from!

I plan on  calling a few friends to see if I can get a book club started with YOUR book.” - Ms. Harris, Books in tha Hood, Bronx, NY, 2010

“I finished Speedsuit Powers Book 1: Powersuit  and I must say it was amazing!! After  5 hours, I have been inspired beyond reason. Even though Curtis is 15 it is really easy for me, a college student, to relate to his story. Not in the sense of having to… deal with a bully, but not understanding who I am and what I want to do. I have always known that I wanted to be great, but Curtis inspires me to become even better at school and work even harder to become a Veterinarian or Doctor.”
- Lexi Sampson, College Student, Kansas 2010

“Allen Paul Weaver III has so cleverly addressed the issue of bullying in his novel, Speedsuit Powers.  He’s done this by allowing his main character, Curtis, to use his intelligence to outwit and befriend his nemesis, Treyshawn, with the support of his school, friends and family.”
–J. Helen Perkins, ED.D., The University of Memphis, Associate Professor of Reading & Urban Literacy, Editor, The Reading Teacher, International Reading Association

“What a great story! Curtis, Kelly and the other characters will inspire kids to dream big and stand firm during tough times. Speedsuit Powers will make a great gift for any kid who is about to start high school – it’s not too late to put it on their summer reading list! It makes me wish that I had paid more attention in my physics class. I hope to see Speedsuit Powers on the big screen!” -Frank Gomez, NY 2010

“Speedsuit Powers identifies real issues facing our youth today, as well as many situations and tough decisions that we all face in life. The author was able to capture and voice a young person’s feelings as they struggle to cope with new surroundings, troubled classmates, and not being one of the “in” crown.  This book should be an encouragement to parents because the main character shows real character - he is respectful to his mother, teachers and friends. I was thrilled after reading this book when I was able to give it to an 11-year boy who is being raised by a single mom. It seemed like God had this young man in His plan as he is now reading Speedsuit Powers! Thank you for writing such a wonderful story.  Not that I’ve looked too far and wide but I don’t think there are many books written specifically for this age group and gender that touch on these topics so well. This book is definitely a must-read!”
- Anne LoCastro, New York, 2010

“Speedsuit Powers, by Allen Paul Weaver III, was a work in progress for many years; stemming from an illustration that I still have to this day of a super hero flying to save the world.  It has developed into the book Speedsuit Powers that shows that anyone, including those that have physical difficulties, can overcome the obstacles they face and create a better future for themselves and for everyone around them. It’s an incredible story of triumph, family and courage. People need to read it!”
- Christopher Graham, Bronx, NY, 2010
