Editorial Reviews

Review

*"Armed with an array of adjectives, non-sequitors, bizarre asides, irrelevant footnotes, and running gags, Anderson sends up decades of children's book series, and creates a hysterical tale of his own."

--"Publishers Weekly", starred review

*"Goosebumps fans and readers who get Lemony Snicket's brand of humor will be rolling in the aisles."

--"Booklist", starred review
