* ”Harrell plugs cartoon line drawings of comically disgruntled or distraught figures into the narrative on nearly every page to deliver sly gags and punch lines…A series that began as a Wimpy Kid wannabe moves up to a cabin in first class.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Praise for Life of Zarf: The Troll Who Cried Wolf:
“Harrell tells the tale Wimpy Kid-style with punch lines, much of the dialogue, and snarky asides…delivered by a cast of deadpan cartoon figures.” —Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Life of Zarf: The Trouble with Weasels:
“Entertainingly goofy. A promising series kickoff full of off-kilter action and humor.” —Publishers Weekly
“A Wimpy Kid format with a fairy-tale twist? Yes, this is bound to be a hit… This is a witty twist on ordinary school-day troubles, and Harrell’s turning of familiar fairy-tale tropes on their heads adds to the charm (and a lot to the amusement factor)…this ought to find a sweet spot at the nexus between fans of humor and fans of fractured fantasies.” —Booklist
