Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus, will be delighted

in wordplay, eccentric personalities and an evocative setting."
--Shelf Awareness, Starred review
"A blend of taut suspense and laugh-out-loud humor from Bowling . .

playful elements reminiscent of Richard Peck, this slightly
larger-than-life adventure offers plentiful surprises and a lovable
antihero." --Publishers Weekly, Starred review
"The ragtag band of misfits . . . calls to mind the gang from The
Goonies, and their underground escapades vacillate among genuinely
creepy, hilarious, and thrilling. . . . Sure to resonate with any
kid who's felt misplaced in their inherited surroundings."

. . . This is a perfect pick for young readers who love a
well-developed story with twists and turns all the way to the very
