Reviews
"A rambunctious cast of irreverent nursery-rhyme characters who don't quite fit their traditional roles, a liberal dose of twisted rewritten nursery rhymes, and lively cartoon art add witty dimension to Elspeth's harrowing second adventure as she straddles two worlds. Clever, humorous sequel with a 'take-charge, kick-butt'heroine." - Kirkus Reviews "Familiar nursery-rhyme characters assume arresting new personas in this witty, clever story of personal transformation. Rewritten rhymes and cartoonlike illustrations add humor. A surprising heroine fulfills her destiny in this rollicking version of Mother Goose." -- Kirkus Reviews on BLUE IN THE FACE: A STORY OF RISK, RHYME, AND REBELLION "Each chapter is introduced with an authentic nursery rhyme, and Swallow interweaves familiar characters (e.g., Humpty Dumpty and Jack Horner) with Elspeth's fantasy adventure to engage readers in a creative way." -- Booklist on BLUE IN THE FACE: A STORY OF RISK, RHYME, AND REBELLION "Fans of wordplay, puns, and fractured fairy tales should be right at home." -- Publishers Weekly on BLUE IN THE FACE: A STORY OF RISK, RHYME, AND REBELLION "A grand escapade centered around a close family of smart, helpful, likable characters. Great fun." --starred review, Kirkus Reviews on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "Those who enjoyed Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events will find some of the same surreal qualities in this first book in a series--and a bit more warmth besides." -- School Library Journal on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "The storytelling, which merges deadpan narration with an absurdist sense of humor, is the real star of this fast-paced adventure." -- Publishers Weekly on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "If Lemony Snicket and Dave Barry got married and had a baby, this book would be it." -- Critiquing the World on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY "Fans of baroque misadventures, bumbling villains, heroic rescues, cliffhangers and especially sarcastic repartee--not to mention intrusive narrators--will be charmed anew." -- Kirkus Reviews on ANOTHER WHOLE NOTHER STORY "If the kids are waiting for the next Wimpy Kid book, hand them this." -- San Francisco Chronicle on A WHOLE NOTHER STORY, "A rambunctious cast of irreverent nursery-rhyme characters who don't quite fit their traditional roles, a liberal dose of twisted rewritten nursery rhymes, and lively cartoon art add witty dimension to Elspeth's harrowing second adventure as she straddles two worlds. Clever, humorous sequel with a 'take-charge, kick-butt'heroine." - Kirkus Reviews "Swallow again takes well-known nursery rhyme characters, creates retellings of the rhymes, and weaves them into a humorous story of a middle-school girl caught between her everyday world and the magical one in which she is a heroine." - Booklist "The world-building of New Winkieland is imaginative and tongue-in-cheek. Kids will enjoy recognizing well-known nursery characters in these warped forms. . . . Give this dark and funny novel to fans of fractured fairy tales such as Adam Gidwitz's "The Sisters Grimm."" - School Library Journal "Familiar nursery-rhyme characters assume arresting new personas in this witty, clever story of personal transformation.
