'This fun journey of character development neatly turns the conversation from the cowardice of bullies towhat it means to be lionhearted, all in a delightful, subduedly comic package.' — Booklist, starred review

'Agee's sentences are short and punchy, and he carves out gouache shapes in thick, deliberate ink outlines. He sets up a ridiculous situation with a straight face, approaching it with understated humour and leonine confidence.'— Publishers Weekly, starred review
