Reviews

"Gentle humor and a realistic urban setting add interest to this solid middle-grade read. Appealing any time of the year." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Jenkins's chapter book fantasy, with its strong sense of place and realistic family dynamic, will have new readers wishing for an invisible pal of their own. Bliss's droll illustrations allow readers to see Inkling in all his furry glory, even when the characters in the book do not." -- The Horn Book

"The Halloween details, from giant eyeballs to black spiderwebs, in Bliss' wry, spot drawings add to the farce, and kids will appreciate both the conflicts and Hank's warm bond with his bossy sidekick." -- Booklist
