Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews "Hilarious. If ever a new series deserved to go viral, this one does." The Bulletin: "A perfect mix of writing that is simple enough for early readers but still remarkably snarky, clever, and entertaining. Kids will soak up the humor, tidbits of science instruction, and adventure."  Review citations School Library Journal - pg. 92 - 07/01/2012Kirkus Reviews - pg. 1820 - 08/15/2012Hornbook Guide to Children / Recommended - pg. 56 - 01/01/2013Hornbook Guide to Children / Very Good - pg. 56 - 01/01/2013Hornbook Guide to Children / Recommended - Readable - pg. 56 - 01/01/2013
