"'A sort of Aussie tall-tale version of ""Diary of a Wimpy Kid"" ... A good choice for kids drawn to the upside down and out-and-out disgusting.' -- Booklist 'A laugh-out-loud look at a boy's imagination with all of the bravado and cringe-worthy moments that readers might expect ... a good choice for reluctant readers.' -- School Library Journal"
