What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Funny, and entertaining….A must for young writers…and a fab, fun writing manual for writing teachers everywhere.” –Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
“Jam-packed with both writing advice and jokes… this two-for-one tale is as smart as it is entertaining.” – Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
“What an amazing read, full of bizarre kid logic and fun, and brought to life with the usual care & empathy that the Story Pirates always show to young writers!
– Patton Oswalt, Emmy and Grammy award winning actor and stand-up comedian
“Do you want to laugh? Or get yanked into a nonstop, page-turning adventure? Or be inspired to write your own story? Or maybe you want to eat a double stack cheeseburger with onion rings? Okay, if it’s any of the first three, then this is the bookfor you. If it’s the last one—sorry, we can’t help you there.”
– Adam Gidwitz, best-selling author of A Tale Dark and Grimm and the Newbery Honor-winning The Inquisitor’s Tale
“So zany and imaginative, it’s no surprise an actual kid inspired it. You’ll laugh a lot—and learn a lot, too.”
– Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than Ever
