Reviews
Tatulli continues his chronicle of sixth-grade special-effects expert Desmond in a funny and cheerfully gross tale of perseverance and friendship that is realistic and wacky all at once...fans will rejoice that more adventures are on the way. (Kirkus Reviews) The book's humor is totally suited to boys ages 7 to 12, especially boys who love amusement parks and monsters. The story has a couple funny twists to keep readers on their toes. The inclusion of illustrations throughout the book makes this a great introduction to chapter books and a way to get reluctant readers interested in reading. (Time to Play Magazine) Mark Tatulli is one of my favorite cartoonists, and now he brings his delightfully warped comic sensibility to Desmond Pucket with a hilariously offbeat hero who will have kids howling. Desmond Pucket is a surefire hit and an absolute scream. (Lincoln Peirce) Desmond joins a long list of heroes who inspire me while making me hurry nervously out of the room. I salute Mark Tatulli! From a safe distance. Locked in a closet. With a stuffed animal for comfort. (Lemony Snicket) Tatulli continues his chronicle of sixth-grade special-effects expert Desmond in a funny and cheerfully gross tale of perseverance and friendship that is realistic and wacky all at once fans will rejoice that more adventures are on the way. (Kirkus Reviews) This lively tale is full of quirky and exaggerated characters The plot is well developed and will appeal to readers.
