Editorial Reviews

The story is funny, insightful and just all round enjoyable. The characters are excellent from the young girl who needs her problem solved to Jimmy and his kindergarten bodyguard Opal who has a voracious appetite for beating the bad guys up. The writing is great, smart and witty. And I love the art, it has somewhat of a Charles Schulz feel to it.

Dickerman and Pruett are definitely onto something with this story and there’s no telling where their creativity will take readers.
