Readers will be flushed with excitement to follow Mac's operations from the fourth stall. - Kirkus Reviews, about THE FOURTH STALL PART II
Rylander uses the slow build to set the noir feel of the novel, creating an antihero protagonist who is hard not to like and respect. Fans...will not be disappointed. - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA), about THE FOURTH STALL PART II
Rylander mines a substantial amount of humor and heart from this combination hard-boiled crime novel and middle-grade character piece. A light and enjoyable caper. - Publishers Weekly, about THE FOURTH STALL
Do yourself a favor. Read it. Now. - Jon Scieszka, about THE FOURTH STALL
Mac narrates the...tale with the arch flatness of a 1940s satire of the noir detective genre....Excellent. - ALA Booklist, about THE FOURTH STALL
