New York Times:
An energetic, good-hearted escapade, one that young readers will enjoy.

Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
* Hilarious. If ever a new series deserved to go viral, this one does.

The Bulletin:
A perfect mix of writing that is simple enough for early readers but still remarkably snarky, clever, and entertaining. Kids will soak up the humor, tidbits of science instruction, and adventure.

Paperback.
