“Pencil of Doom is characteristically funny, uncondescending and a great read—even for adults.”
“This book is worth reading just for Chapter six, Yes Means No and No Means Yes.”
“It’s a perfectly PG-certificate adventure, and everything is spot on, from the immediacy of the characterisation, to the plot, to the style it’s all presented in. The chaptering is very pacy, the comedy pacier, and it amounts to a great title.”
