About this title

Review:

"The last three stories--Steve Hamaker's rollicking 'Fish n Chips'; Johane Matte's inventive Egyptian-graverobbing story, 'Mastaba'; and Jen Breach and Douglas Holgate's pun-tastic fantasy action tale 'When Is a Door Not a Door?'--end the collection on a high note, with solid plots and gorgeous artwork. Expect followers of the popular series to snatch it up."--Snow Wildsmith"Booklist" (10/06/2014)
