Media Reviews
Boys who struggle in school will especially appreciate the story, but this enjoyable, fast-paced novel will draw other children as well.
Humor, magic, a school bully, a pet dachshund named Cheerio, and a pet iguana that slurps soup at dinner add up to a fun novel with something for everyone.
They're fun without being overly messagey, and the success experience will speak to numerous readers. -- Booklist 1/1/2006 Booklist 1/1/2006
