Reviews

"Cusick creates a well-balanced narrative. While levity lightens the load--and the story is legitimately funny--the focus remains on a perfectly paced adventure. A promising series debut." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Budding sci-fi fans and humor aficionados are bound to team up for this hysterical intergalactic adventure." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Author Bio

John Cusick is an author and literary agent. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and a large orange cat named Donut. Records indicate he was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. There is no hard evidence to suggest Mr. Cusick is from outer space, and frankly we don't know how these rumors get started.
