Reviews

Praise for Rise of the Balloon Goons:
"Cranking up the horrorlarity with googly eyed cartoon figures and sight gags on nearly every page, Cummings pitches his nervous but resourceful newcomer into a climactic, all-out battle with an entire army of aggressive, air-stealing bendy balloons." -- Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Day of the Night Crawlers:
"Written for independent readers, the simple chapter books in this new series are part mystery, part fantasy, and part hilarious. The easy-to-read text, quick action, and exaggerated illustrations will appeal to both boys and girls." -- Language Arts
