What Readers Are Saying…

The Crimson Protector has everything good YA fiction should have: fully fleshed out, realistic characters; cool action set pieces; multiple interwoven conflicts; some solid moral lessons; and, for keen-eyed readers, allusions to at least one major scholarly work of literature. Fans of comic book/movie superheroes will love this novel and so will everyone else!
— Scott Honig, Ed.D.
No matter where I went, I couldn’t put the book down. I couldn’t stop reading until the end of the book.
— Ozzie H., middle school reader
This is a terrific resource for middle schoolers! Dr. Kranzler provides readers with fantastic tools to overcome social anxiety, handle bullying, and manage challenges in their lives.

AUTHOR

Hi, I'm Jeffrey Kranzler and I'm really happy that you're visiting this website.  Let me tell you a little bit about me. 

I am a proud dad, husband, son, uncle and big brother. I'm also a lifelong comic book fan. Now don't get me wrong, I love comic book movies too, but there is something magical about reading a comic book. If you've never tried reading one, I highly suggest going to your local comic book store and trying one out. 

I also believe strongly in the value of mentoring and I'm so grateful that I get a chance to help create and improve mentoring programs in my work with the National Mentoring Resource Center. That's why a mentor plays such an important role in this book. I'm a social worker too, and I believe that when middle schoolers learn the right skills, they can overcome challenges that they face. 

Workbooks can be boring and so I hope that my readers learn some skills for developing confidence, overcoming social fears, and handling bullying just by enjoying the action-packed adventures of The Crimson Protector. 

Most of all, I'm a guy who knows he's never accomplished anything without the help of others. If you're excited about my book, I'd love it if you could help me too, and spread the word by telling your friends, posting to your social media and joining The Crimson Protector Facebook group. This book won't be able to help anyone if they don't know about it and I really appreciate your help.
