Review Quotes

"The story is always fast-paced and imaginative..." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Kids who enjoy fast-paced books with unlikely, hyperactive heroes, and outlandish adventures will be amused." -- School Library Journal

"Skye douses his surreal caper with nautical one-liners ("It's always darkest before the prawn"), and Vieira adds graphic depictions of Admiral Uli's battles with slimy foes between select chapters. [...] Ink-credible!" -- Booklist
