What smart people are saying about Max Fernsby…

“Opening with a promise that readers have never heard a Christmas story quite like this one, Swallow and Gaulke certainly deliver in the unique zany shenanigans department..”

— Kirkus Review

“Nonstop action and toilet humor will find their audience in this double debut filled with ‘high jinks, shenanigans... tomfoolery... funny business... horseplay, and... buffoonery.”

— Publishers Weekly

“Max Fernsby and the Infinite Toys is an easy-to-read chapter book with lots of heart, humor and great characters."

— YA Book Central
