What a fantastic read! I started reading this to my 7 year old step son for his night time read and just couldn’t put it down! The book is fantastically funny and just grabs you with each enthralling chapter! You would think this was a book written by a well known author, not Matt Wash’s first! I could picture the cartoon series already in my head as I read it! Let’s just say, we both can’t wait for Matts future books which I’m sure will be equally as captivating....for readers of ALL ages!
