Praise for Richard Scrimger's Norbert books: <br> A hilarious, exciting roller coaster of evasions, captures, and escapes.... Snappy dialogue, humor, and clever plotting provide a rollicking adventure, with a subtext reminding readers to be sensitive to the feelings, concerns, and abilities of others. <br>-- Booklist <br> Like its predecessor [The Nose from Jupiter], this wonderful story is filled with memorable characters, irreverent wit, exciting plot twists, and some touching moments as well.... Any teen reader with a taste for the absurd will love the latest adventures of Alan Dingwall and his alter ego, Norbert. <br>-- Voya <br> Scrimger's dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny and the action is fast-paced and slick. <br>-- City Parent
