Review
"With a humor that reminds one of Lemony Snicket, Barry Yourgrau takes readers along for a lively journey through the imagination." Children's Literature
Review
"At several points the text morphs into manga, and a few of Rollo's fights are violent. Smudges, fingerprints, and page and chapter numbers that change direction or include additional messages appear throughout." School Library Journal

About the Author
Writer/performer Barry Yourgrau has been making people laugh their heads off or gasp in astonishment with such books as Wearing Dad's Head and A Man Jumps Out of An Airplane. He's startled everyone with his appearances on MTV and National Public Radio. He even starred in a movie based on his writings, and in a music video too. He teased the world with his first book for kids, My Curious Uncle Dudley. Barry woke up one day in the US as a kid. Now Barry's ready to unleash the hysterically dark fun and games from the deepest dark of his soul. "With my NASTYbook," grins Barry, nastily, "I invite you to share in those cruel, twisted and shockingly mischeivous delights I know you secretly adore if you dare!" He got there all the way from South Africa, he claims... Or is this just another of his jokes?
