Reviews
""Eclectic characters, spot art in the creator's signature smudgy style, plentiful cleverly imagined or screwball tangents and asides...make for an archly comical, occasionally woolly fantasy novel by Raschka."" - Publishers Weekly (starred review) ""The terrifically surreal story is an outlandish delight, chock-full of high jinks and hilarious history. . . . The quick pace and unconventional illustrations will capture readers' attention easily."" - Michael di Capua
