Review
"Funny and sweet with a steely centre." - Neil Gaiman, New York Times best-selling author of Coraline and the Newbery Award-winning The Graveyard Book
"An important message, humorously delivered, that will appeal to Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans." - Kirkus Reviews
"...the first Odd Squad title offers an entertaining take on some familiar themes by blending humor, absurdity, and realism into a supportive message. ...(an) enjoyable read, which is likely to appeal to Wimpy Kid readers." -- Booklist
"The small cartoon illustrations on almost every page are the highlight of the book. Especially funny are the depictions of Nick's yoga-practicing grandmother, Meemaw, who always has the perfect wisecrack to sum up a situation. The first of a series, this title will be enjoyed by fans of Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books." - School Library Journal
The oddball humor is the book's biggest appeal, with plenty of age-appropriate jokes that dabble in both witticisms and more scatological content. Fry (author of the Over the Hedge comic strip) provides grayscale spot illustrations throughout that are essential to the story, often delivering a joke's final punchline or a zingy one-liner. With their bulging eyes and large heads, figures are just slightly misproportioned, adding to the book's playful tone." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
"This is a must have, must-read, must-sell book for all 8-14 year olds and those of us 50+ readers who never grew up," - Judy Wrolson of Cornerstone Cottage Kids
