Reviews
"Filled with delightful characters, witty remarks, and jokes aplenty, this book is a delightful tale and loads of fun. Fans of the Sisters Grimm, Lemony Snicket, and the Magic Tollbooth will find much to like and chuckle over. Recommended." - School Library Connection "A lot of silliness, even with the government overthrow plot, and humorous illustrations punctuate the text, adding even more levity." - BCCB "Each chapter is introduced with an authentic nursery rhyme, and Swallow interweaves familiar characters (e.g., Humpty Dumpty and Jack Horner) with Elspeth's fantasy adventure to engage readers in a creative way." - Booklist "Familiar nursery-rhyme characters assume arresting new personas in this witty, clever story of personal transformation. Rewritten rhymes and cartoonlike illustrations add humor. A surprising heroine fulfills her destiny in this rollicking version of Mother Goose." -- Kirkus Reviews "Fans of wordplay, puns, and fractured fairy tales should be right at home." - Publishers Weekly "A grand escapade centered around a close family of smart, helpful, likable characters. Great fun." --starred review, Kirkus Reviews on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "If the kids are waiting for the next Wimpy Kid book, hand them this." -- San Francisco Chronicle on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "Those who enjoyed Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events will find some of the same surreal qualities in this first book in a series--and a bit more warmth besides." -- School Library Journal on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "The storytelling, which merges deadpan narration with an absurdist sense of humor, is the real star of this fast-paced adventure." -- Publishers Weekly on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "If Lemony Snicket and Dave Barry got married and had a baby, this book would be it." -- Critiquing the World on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "Fans of baroque misadventures, bumbling villains, heroic rescues, cliffhangers and especially sarcastic repartee--not to mention intrusive narrators--will be charmed anew." -- Kirkus Reviews on ANOTHER WHOLE NOTHER STORY, "Familiar nursery-rhyme characters assume arresting new personas in this witty, clever story of personal transformation.
