PRAISE FOR MABEL JONES AND THE FORBIDDEN CITY : "The result is wordplay that dances and teases, making every page an act of high entertainment. If this is the future, count child fans in." -- Kirkus Reviews PRAISE FOR THE UNLIKELY ADVENTURES OF MABEL JONES : "First in a series, this comical novel should become a readaloud favorite." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review! "A little bit of Monty Python, a touch of Capt. Jack Sparrow . This high-spirited, pirate-tastic romp is for kids who like their buccaneers a little on the wild side." -- Kirkus Reviews "From the first few sentences, I knew I was in for a uniquely wild and witty ride." --Christopher Healy, author of the Hero's Guide series "A speedy, splashy, snort-out-loud lark.

Clever and fun." --Jacqueline West, author of the New York Times bestselling Books of Elsewhere series "Delightfully nasty, bonkers piratical fun. I laughed out loud!" --Robin Stevens, author of Murder is Bad Manners.
