What Readers Are Saying:
"A fun and funny tale!"
"In addition to following the adventure of Jaden Toussaint, it subliminally encouraged my little person to want to do his own investigations."
"Full of fascinating details about its New Orleans setting, this book has lots to offer for little scientists. Jaden and his friends work together to solve a tricky problem and show that even scary creatures deserve our sympathy and care."
"My son (5 yr old) was so excited to get this book. He liked 'the Ladeks, his coat, the 3 minute dance party and the WHOLE book!' Jaden is a cool kid and a great problem solver. I love his creativity, his ability to work as a team, recognition of others' strengths and his super supportive family (I only wish my sister was THAT kind growing up!). The characters are warm and interconnect well. Cleverly written and entertaining with great illustrations. And I LOVE the Doctor Who references! We are already looking forward to the next episode!"

About the Author:

Marti Dumas is a mama who spends most of her time doing mama things.  You know-- feeding ducks in parks, constructing Halloween costumes, facilitating heated negotiations, reading aloud, throwing raw vegetables on a plate and calling it dinner, and shouting, "watch out!" whenever there are dog piles on the walk to school.  
 
Sometimes she writes, but only very occasionally and in the early morning. And, yes.  She really does really, really like fantasy books. A lot.
