Suit up to join Bax and the Pugs in this first entry in a monstrously fun new series.” —Booklist”[K]ing does a solid job of slipping important ideas into a tale that moves with the speed and skill of a power forward.” —Quill & Quire“The first book in a new middle-grade series by Wesley King, Beast Ballerz, is a fun story with lots of humour and kid appeal… .
