How about a modern middle school? You cant help falling in love with this hilarious upside-down take on Dungeons and Dragons. I read; I cheered; I laughed out loud." — Gordon Korman“Played out with impeccable, hilarious logic, the plot leads up an adventuresome learning curve to a brisk battle in a local mall with animated mannequins, a really high-stakes duel involving the evocatively named phone game Oink Pop, and a final realization that Bríandalörs dangers, lore, glittering treasures, and opportunities for daring exploits seem a bit pale next to those of . . . exotic suburbia." — Booklist (starred review)Praise for Hamstersaurus Rex: "A funny, lighthearted option for fans of Tom Angleberger." — School Library Journal (starred review)Praise for Hamstersaurus Rex: "In the annals of class-petdom, few indeed could ever match aptly named Hamstersaurus Rex for loyalty and ferocity." — ALA BooklistPraise for Hamstersaurus Rex: "ODonnell kicks off a new series with an illustrated origin story sure to please fans of Betty G. Birneys Humphrey and Lincoln Peirces Big Nate." — Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Hamstersaurux Rex vs. Squirrel Kong: "ODonnell writes joyful silliness for readers with a budding adolescent sense of humor, and Squirrel Kongs absurdism may resonate even with grumpy, neurotic adults. A pure blast of fun for readers who want something amusing and fast-paced." — School Library Journal Review Quote "What could be more treacherous than the realm of Briandalor, with its barbarians, wizards, warriors, assassins, and thieves?
