About this title

Review:

Praise for THE NOTEBOOK OF DOOM #1: 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.... An unusually promising series opener for proto-Goosebumps fans." -KIRKUS REVIEWS
Praise for THE EENSY WEENSY SPIDER FREAKS OUT!

"Clever text full of witty asides." -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
Praise for MORE BEARS!

"[Artwork that is] infused with zaniness of fun." -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
