Review Quotes: Praise for The Notebook of Doom #1: Rise of the Balloon Goons: "Cranking up the horrorlarity with googly eyed cartoon figures and sight gags on nearly every page, Cummings pitches his nervous but resourceful newcomer into a climactic, all-out battle with an entire army of aggressive, air-stealing bendy balloons... An unusually promising series opener for proto-Goosebumps fans." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for The Eensy Weensy Spider Freaks Out!: "Clever text full of witty asides." -- School Library JournalPraise for More Bears!: "[Artwork that is] infused with zaniness of fun." -- School Library Journal
