Reviews
Praise for GHOSTOPOLIS * TenNapel's colorful illustrations are filled with energy and life. --SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, starred review TenNapel is a terrific cartoonist and in fine form here. --BOOKLIST PRAISE FOR BAD ISLAND * A clever, old-fashioned adventure with some modern twists and a light-hearted tone, this, like TenNapel's previous work, is not to be missed. --BOOKLIST, starred review * TenNapel has crafted another rip-roaring adventure with wide audience appeal. --SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, starred review Praise for CARDBOARD * An exceptionally seamless blend of action and philosophy, two elements that usually do not mix easily; TenNapel handles this masterfully. Utterly brilliant. --KIRKUS, starred review A boldly imaginative and ambitious tale. --THE HORN BOOK [TenNapel] provides moments of great sweetness and heaps and heaps of bizarre fun, a quality that has become his veritable trademark. --BOOKLIST Praise for TOMMYSAURUS REX TenNapel unleashes an array of charmingly off-kilter characters and has mastered a cartoonish style that preserves a sense of grit while lending some emotional weight to match the story. --BOOKLIST It's a premise worthy of a loony Saturday morning cartoon, complete with bulgy-eyed characters that nearly bounce off the full-color pages, but underlying the fun is a potent and affecting story about facing death and growing up. --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Unpredictable and engaging, this will be a popular pick for reluctant readers and graphic-novel fans. --SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
