"Kids will love reading the laugh-out-loud funny stories about someone whose behavior is even worse than their own." —School Library Journal "Not since 'Nate the Great' has an early reader series created such a buzz." —Los Angeles Times "Will engage even the most reluctant readers." —Publishers Weekly
