Review Quotes: Praise for Jake the Fake:
A Publishers Weekly African-American Young Readers selection!
"A fast and funny alternative to the Wimpy Kid."
-Kirkus Reviews "Robinson and Mansbach amp up the laughs in this wry novel."
-Booklist "Jake showcases an unforgettable kid whose imagination will blow your mind."
-Essence "Jake wouldn't worry about making it through sixth grade if he knew the all-star team he has behind his adventures. The laughs you'll have reading this book are definitely not fake!"
-Jeffrey Brown, author of Lucy & Andy Neanderthal and Jedi Academy "Everything about this book is funny. OK, maybe not the page numbers. But the words and pictures are hilarious; I laughed until boogers came out of my nose. (Don't worry, I put them back.)"
-Dave Barry, author of Worst Class Trip Ever
