Reviews

"[A] fast-moving, hilarious animal adventure. . . . Plenty of jokes balance the action-packed story line, while black-and-white cartoon art graces almost every page. Readers will enjoy delving into the many maps, charts, and pun-filled humor. This new series starter will appeal to both newly independent readers and slightly older reluctant readers looking for something unique. VERDICT Fans of "Geronimo Stilton" will find a winner here." --School Library Journal on Dogfight
