"""It's silly and fun and heartwarming all at once...a must read and a must add to any bookshelf for the grade 3-6 crowd."" (Esther Keller, School Library Journal's ""Good Comics for Kids"" blog) (starred review) ""Tatulli's entry into the comics/fiction-hybrid market is one of the best...The target audience will snap this up and bet for more."" (Kirkus Reviews) ""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) ""I think deep down we all have a Desmond Pucket inside us. You won't be able to put this book down as you laugh your guts out!"" (Avery, age 9, San Francisco Book Review) ""Desmond's adversarial relationship with disciplinary officer Mr. Needles ranks right up there with Archie and Mr. Weatherbee for fun reading."" (Kat Kahn, VOYA) ""Desmond's school experience is very realistic and students, mostly boys, will be able to relate to his shenanigans and his journey of self-discovery. Put this in the hands of reluctant readers and they will be asking for more."" (Elyse DeQuoy, Library Media Connection) ""This is full of ghoulish fun, and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid probably won't want to miss it."" (Esther Keller, School Library Journal's ""Good Comics for Kids"" blog) ""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)"
