Reviews

Praise for Animorphs: "[The Animorph books] were dark and witty and thrilling, endlessly inventive and achingly sad. They made me laugh out loud and cry myself to sleep. I've been thinking about them for twenty years." -- The Paris Review"Engaging ... impressive." -- School Library Journal"There's clearly something about Animorphs that has kept kids enthralled." -- Publisher's WeeklyPraise for Chris Grine's Chickenhare: "An imaginative, outlandish and rollicking adventure."-- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Chris Grine's Time Twisters: "As satisfying and enjoyable as a big-budget animated sci-fi feature." -- Kirkus Reviews"The clean backgrounds, dynamic perspectives panels, and bold linework emphasize action and physical comedy, but the story's thoughtful consideration of grief and destiny nicely counterbalances its wilder twists and turns." -- Publishers Weekly
