Editorial Reviews

STARRED REVIEW! There are more than a dozen titles in this humorous series for elementary readers that will be a perfect match for readers who are not quite ready for longer books, but want the humor. The author has captured the voice of a third grader to perfection, and the misadventures of Zeke Meeks and his two annoying sisters will be relatable to most elementary school students. . . .These confidence-building chapter books will be popular with readers. I have already added the rest of this series to my next book order! Highly Recommended.
