Reviews

Praise for The Principal's Underwear Is Missing:

"In this amusing read with its Wimpy Kid--like line drawings, kids will learn that it's OK to associate with someone who's different--you might even have fun. . . . Kowitt's well-written title gets school social dynamics right and will be appreciated by readers who enjoy mean girl stories, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries series, and other school survival tales." --School Library Journal

"Along with an arresting title and laughs aplenty, this helter-skelter caper features two middle-schoolers who aren't quite as typecast as they seem. . . . Kowitt's cartoon insertions supply the romp with punchlines and wry visual commentary." --Booklist
