Critics Review
“This rousing adventure introduces a new hero to the world … [An] epic debut.” –Booklist
“An ideal adventure for more reluctant readers … An absurd story executed with admirable gravity and skill.” –Kirkus
“This absurd premise delivers on its goofy humor … for those readers not yet ready for Percy Jackson.” –Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“For mythology loving readers who are too young for Rick Riordan.” –School Library Journal
“Tillery dishes out bountiful allusions and wordplay both smart and silly …[along with] chirpy dialogue, rat-a-tat action, and spry illustrations.” –Publishers Weekly
