Reviews

Good book alert! Drew and her daughters love biting into a good book together, and The Adventures of Team Pom is a hilarious series they revisit again and again! -- The Drew Barrymore Show Staff * The Drew Barrymore Show *
This graphic novel is a little James Bond, a little Wes Anderson, and a lot of fun. Readers will love the larger-than-life characters and the offbeat jokes, brought to life in cool tones with pops of warmer hues, especially orange. * Kirkus Reviews *
Resplendent with the most gorgeous mid-century colour scheme, it boasts endearing oddball characters readers will root for and adore, and an off-the-wall story underpinned by a luminous message of teamwork. -- Joanne Owen * LoveReading4Kids *
