"R.L. Stine's dark, long-popular Goosebumps books have nothing on Dave Keane's bright, new Joe Sherlock, Kid Detective series."
Albuquerque Journal
"The gross-out factor is high in these easy chapter books... which will appeal to fans of Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants series."
School Library Journal
"Reluctant readers will welcome the brief chapters, zany half-tone spot art and zippy pace."
Publisher's Weekly
"Lots of drama, excitement, and silliness."
Children's Literature
"Snappy pacing. Gut-busting humor. Joe is a kid with whom real kids can identify." San Jose Mercury News
