Review Quotes:

Praise for Sawyer Lee and the Quest to Just Stay Home:
*An Instant New York Times Bestseller!*

"A cartoon-illustrated novel for readers who like their comics on the ridiculous side."--The New York Times, "11 Books for Children Who Love the Wimpy Kid Series"

"Sawyer Lee is all of us: he just wants to be left alone and eat chocolates. And if you're thinking 'Hey wait, that's not me!' then I would suggest you simply haven't spent enough quality time alone eating chocolates. This book is funny, and charming, and utterly loveable." --Ryan North, New York Times-bestselling and Eisner Award-winning author of Danger and Other Unknown Risks

"Filled with copious jokes and a bizarre internal logic that works on its own hilarious level . . . Clever and funny, with a protagonist who resembles a young Bartleby, the Scrivener; hand to those seeking laffs." --Kirkus Reviews

"With interspersed comics panels to amplify the ridiculous comedy, Weinersmith brings arch humor to this offbeat story . . . will entertain kids who appreciate cartoonish antics." --Booklist
