I ripped through [Deadweather & Sunrise]...I highly recommend you grab a copy. Once you've read the first book, you'll be drying to find out what happens for Egg and the gang. I know I am!

—— Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

A bit of autobiography works its way into all of Gantos's work, but he one-ups himself in this wildly entertaining meld of truth and fiction by naming the main character . . . Jackie Gantos

—— Publishers Weekly

Gantos, as always, delivers bushels of food for thought and plenty of outright guffaws

—— Booklist

A fast-paced and witty read

—— School Library Journal

Skillfully delivered, hugely popular, continuously funny and utterly unique

—— Guardian

The spiritual lovechild of Tommy Cooper and Steve Martin, if such a thing were possible

Bursting with silly situations and hilarious antics

—— Bournemouth Daily Echo

A real delight

—— Bournemouth Daily Echo
