★ “Laugh-out-loud.” —School Library Journal (starred review)

★ “In full, vivid color, the loose cartoon style exudes an infectious glee, flawlessly matching Barnett’s freewheeling, absurdist humor and plotting.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Ridiculously fun and brilliantly illustrated.” —Dav Pilkey

“Barnett’s fast-paced dialogue, pleasing non sequiturs, and humorous wordplay are amplified by Harris’s impressive illustrations. The surprisingly earnest themes of friendship and individual purpose combined with the absurd humor should resonate with this audience of readers.” —The Horn Book Magazine

“A true comedic delight.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“A definite winner.” —Booklist

“Epic lunacy.” —Kirkus Reviews
