Guess what? Ant-Man: Game Over is out in bookstores today!

As a kid, I loved stories about little creatures making it in the big, bad human world.* Some of my favorites were The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, Stuart Little, and The Cricket in Times Square—just to name a few. I guess I was really into stories about tiny worlds and…anthropomorphized vermin? Moving on.

Obviously, with that (tiny) background, I was especially excited to work on an Ant-Man book. Having recently visited Asbury Park‘s extraordinary Silver Ball Museum, I knew exactly where I wanted to send Scott Lang and his daughter Cassie in this story. Luckily, my editor (hi, Clarissa Wong!) and everyone at Marvel (hi, everyone at Marvel!) was on board. It was so much fun to imagine the many wonders (and dangers) Scott and Cassie would encounter while navigating the frenetic, vivid world of a pinball playfield at roughly ¾ of an inch, and the fantastic illustrations by Rachelle Rosenberg and Ron Lim really bring that all to life.

Ant-Man: Game Over is a Level 2 reader and is suggested for grades 1 – 3, ages 6 – 8.
It is available at your local bookstore or online at:

*Who am I kidding? I still love those kinds of stories!
