Reviews

Laura Peetoom's children's novel is a delightful read. The comic book illustrations are cleverly woven into the fabric of Alex Vs The Four-Headed Gargantuan? All readers including the reluctant reader will enjoy this quick read. --Keep Calm Novel On, Netgalley Reviewer (02/05/2016)

This book teaches the reader about taking on responsibility and how sacrifice can earn you rewards, both monetarily and emotionally? Overall an entertaining book that has many good curricular applications for teaching kids about growing up. The comic strip style illustrations serve to entertain the reader and keep those with lower reading levels engaged. Excellent. --Emma-Leigh Mitchell, Resource Links (12/01/2015)
