Reviews

'The comic stripstyle art, with minimal shading or detail and a hand-lettered font, is well suited for the manic, madcap humour. A wild ride infused with anarchic glee.' Kirkus

'Deadpan humor abounds alongside a cartoonlike approach to violence and destruction (buildings explode, angry mobs stampede and loot), but its really the utterly unpredictable, absurdist plotting that propels this screwball adventure forward.' Publishers Weekly

'Follows a strange logic of its own that leads to hilarious callbacks ... [Pastis] builds a world of jokes along the way.'School Library Journal
