Media Reviews
David Lee Stone is a wonderfully mad new talent to watch. He has a truly original comic voice and you won't forget his hysterically hopeless (rather than heroic) characters in a hurry! * Wendy Cooling *
Easy to read and consistently amusing in the wry Terry Pratchett/Douglas Adams style. * The School Librarian *
many comical elements and a touch of Mervyn Peake * The Children's Bookseller *
[The Yowler Foul-up] is a zippy, highly efficient read with a natural, unforced wit and a matter-of-fact heartlessness that never seems mean-spirited. * SFX Magazine *
