Whether it was assigned reading in class or we found it on our own, pretty much every Scary Mommy editor agreed this book captivated them.
“While I admit I don’t deeply remember the plot of this book, I know it changed my life. The story was written with such whimsy and love of words, and the illustrations are wonderful. It’s about a kid just like we were — young, kinda bored, in our heads — and takes him on an adventure. It’s a must-read.” — Kate Auletta, Editor in Chief
“I remember exactly how this book made me feel. The wordplay showed me just how much fun you could have with writing, and the relationship between the language and math kingdoms definitely had me taking sides. It was thrilling to keep reading and see what oddball character you’d meet next, or what turn of phrase would be used in a creative new way. I have a copy of this on my bookshelf just waiting for my son to be old enough to read it.” — Katie McPherson, Associate Editor, Lifestyle & Entertainment
