★ “A truly epic adventure. . . Aaron’s broad humor will win over even the most reluctant reader, and while the mix of sly pop culture and political references may go right over the head of some readers, they’ll be a treat for others, ensuring a rollicking good time for both audiences. The rapid-fire pace sweeps readers into Pip’s adventures with a maniacal glee, zipping from one absurdity to the next.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
“A whirlwind adventure . . . Satirical plotting, keen dialogue, and slapstick comedy blends with sharp observations about power and bureaucracy throughout this comic confection, which culminates in a self-aware tale that’s equal parts witty and impish. —Publishers Weekly
“Topsy-turvy, chaos-filled fun . . . Fast-paced and more than a little chaotic, the story will win over readers who love broad humor and zany antics. Like the text, the illustrations are jampacked with over-the-top humor that will have kids poring over the pages to locate small details.” —Kirkus
“A wild ride . . . Dense, rich, and riotously illustrated, this is a full to the brim read for middle grade fantasy lovers.” —School Library Journal
“Unfairies is a wild, witty adventure. Pip and his scrappy crew of fairy misfits set off on an epic (and totally ridiculous) quest—packed with box fights, bug battles, and bonkers twists at every turn. The artwork is vibrant, alive, detailed in all the right places, and still bursting with energy and motion. Hilarious, irreverent, and endlessly charming—Unfairies is everything you want in a graphic novel and more. We loved every page.” —Dan & Jason, creators of Barb the Last Berzerker and Blue, Barry & Pancakes
“You'll be wowed when you step into [this] bustling, offbeat, technicolor universe. Unfairies is anarchy at its best. The dialogue is hilarious, the story is pacy and the illustrations are bursting with energy. Unfairies is enviably bonkers and I loved it. ―Sheena Dempsey, bestselling author of Pablo and Splash
“I loved everything about this book. It's just SO funny and it looks brilliant. Move over Tinkerbell, there's a new favorite fairy in town. ―Rob Biddulph, bestselling author of Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City
“Fantastic, frantic, fairy fun. The artwork is gorgeous—every page dripping in wonderful detail—and the genuinely hilarious story moves at such a pace it'll leave you breathless.” ― Jamie Littler, bestselling author of Frostheart
