Reviews

Review, Booklist, October 1, 2009: <br> The author's experience with role-playing games is evident in both the characterizations and frenetic action...This easily stands alone and will be enjoyed by middle-school readers experienced with suspension of disbelief. <br><br>Review, Publishers Weekly, November 9, 2009: <br> McCoy provides heaps of surreal humor, from wildly original companions with bizarre quirks to Ted's own family...The trope of imaginary friends who actually exist is well-worn, but McCoy breathes new life into it with his charming writing style and characters....Satisfying. <br><br><br> From the Hardcover edition.

Chris has contributed to ""McSweeney's"" and currently lives in Santa Monica.
