Synopses & Reviews
For Rob Burnside, things are going pretty well. His friends are behaving, school isnt too bad, his familys getting along, and Janae, the girl of his dreams, occasionally notices him. Yep, lifes okay—until the lying starts.
Meet Pinocula, the new creature from Robs closet. He is a liar and a jokester and is determined to drive Rob crazy. Obert Skye doesnt let his fans down in this hilarious installment in The Creature from My Closet series, which started with Wonkenstein and Potterwookiee.
Review
Praise for Wonkenstein:
“Comfy antics for readers who dont probably much like reading—which, one thinks, is exactly the point.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Quite funny and has a lot of laugh-out-loud moments. . . . The idea of a hybrid Willy Wonka/Frankenstein character is original and hilarious.” —School Library Journal
“Highly amusing new series starter. . . . Skye gives Rob a self-deprecating charm and highlights the pleasures of books both subtly and effectively.” —Booklist
“Filled with spot-on commentary and a wince-inducing supporting cast, middle grade guys wont be able to keep Wonkenstein to themselves. . . . This pitch-perfect offering should appeal to reluctant readers, not to mention the legion Wimpy Kid fans.” —Shelf Awareness
Praise for Potterwookiee:
“Skye captures all the silly action in the winning text-plus-cartoons format. . . . Robs dry commentary on his family, school, and social life is sure to provoke laughs.” —Publishers Weekly
