Jimmy's Elbow

★ “It’s random, it’s odd, and it’s hilarious… undeniably unique and worth young readers’ time.” — School Library Journal (starred review)“Notably surreal… Readers primed for nothing but laffs may be in for a surprise, as the author folds quick takes on ‘silly’ vs. ‘serious’—not to mention life, death, spiritual apotheosis, and what it means to be ‘made in America’—into the manic proceedings. [Jimmy’s Elbow] hits smack on the funny bone.” — Kirkus Reviews
