Synopsis:

"Sometimes our greatest moments of enlightenment come from our worst mistakes."

​When life supplies eleven-year-old Tommy Grant with some unfavorable circumstances intruding on his otherwise tranquil life in 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?

Reviews from '80s Icons:

"[Tommy] learns that sometimes you have to take chances... you can't let fear dominate you. And I think that's a great message, because that is the creed that I live by. I give Tommy and the Order of Cosmic Champions two thumbs up. I think it's a fantastical, exciting, and interesting read." - Corey Feldman (The Goonies, Gremlins, Stand By Me)

"These guys have done a great job putting this book together... it's really a fantastic story. It's a really wonderful adventure story, with great life lessons and themes." - Anthony Michael Hall (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science)

"...any fans of the '80s out there... any fans of [The] Goonies and The NeverEnding Story... I think you're really going to like this book." - Joey Lawrence (Gimme a Break!, Blossom)

"It was so, so sweet. It was such a heartwarming story and very relatable to people of all ages. I just love how Tommy comes to so many realizations and grows and learns through his own imagination... or is it?" - Nicole Eggert (Charles in Charge)

Possibly. It would depend on the cost, the reputation of the blog/reviewer, and the reach of the blog/reviewer.
