Reviews
School Library Connection – June 20, 2017
“Readers will be drawn into the mystery by the witty remarks of Fizz, who narrates the tale, and the intertwined block text and graphic novel illustrations…This will appeal to both fantasy and mystery readers as magic and technology both play an important role during the story’s climax. Fast paced and fun to read.”
School Library Journal – April 24, 2017
“An action-packed detective story set in a land of monsters and magic…Give to fans of Ursula Vernon’s ‘Dragonbreath’ series or Jennifer Holm’s ‘Squish’ series.”
CM Magazine – April 21, 2017
“This is a delightful middle school novel with elements of a graphic novel…Graphics are so detailed and the characters so well-developed in picture and text that readers can just join them in the adventure…This novel is sure to please kids who love to read, and it will inspire reluctant readers with its humour and almost constant action. Highly Recommended.”
