This is a great addition to the Hero Kids line. We've only had time to run one campaign encounter, but the kids (and even my wife) enjoyed the ability to create and customize their characters. I can see how leveling up their characters will keep them hooked longer, since they are more invested, have more control of who their characters become, and how they operate.
The rules are light enough that even rookie GM's can make it work as long as they've read through and digested the material before presenting it to the kids. I even created a couple practice characters just to work through the process, which made helping the kids much easier.
And since I am running a totally analog game at this point, the addition of a printer friendly version sent this from 4 to 5 stars.
