"Magically whimsical and filled with adventurous twists that will keep readers turning the pages." --School Library Journal
"A middle-grade fantasy about the magic in writing stories . . . An original, wholehearted affirmation of the written word and the imagination." --Kirkus Reviews
"More than the plentiful adventure and engaging characters (emphatically including the dog), it's the language here that delights, with clever, convivial wordplay and an unabashed sense of joy; softly sketched spot art adds to the accessibility and the atmosphere. Give this to budding young writers ready to start at The Beginning." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"A classic tale that will be loved by many." --Lamont Books
"A fantastic adventure story brimming with imagination, a love of books, and a big dash of magic. . . .

You'll never read a book in quite the same way again!" --My Book Corner

About the Author
