"This is an excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family. It's funny, exciting, and briskly paced. Best of all, the message it gives young readers is that a person's flaws--being late, breaking things, etc.--can sometimes turn into useful talents." --NPR "Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids)." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In this original, hysterical homage to fantasy literature, Sanderson's first novel for youth recalls the best in Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events." --VOYA "A happily action-packed romp." --Horn Book Reviews
