PRAISE FOR THE THE EXPLORERS SERIES:
"[A] wildly funny adventure. . . . Animals in teeny hats, Wonderland-style logic, and loads of wordplay and sarcasm will keep readers giggling all the way through." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Exhilarating. . . . Fans of a Series of Unfortunate Events will be drawn to this." -- Booklist
"A rollicking read, full of derring-do and old-fashioned villainy." -- School Library Journal
"Funny, offbeat, and subversive . . . occasional footnotes and other humorous asides from the omniscient narrator break the fourth wall and ramp up the playfulness." -- The Horn Book Magazine
"Narrated with a smart, brisk tone and plenty of snark. . . . T he Explorers: The Door in the Alley packs plenty of twists, turns and danger." -- Shelf Awareness
"On the run from nefarious, nameless thugs, Sebastian and Evie must travel the world to reunite the other explorers from the Filipendulous Five if they are to put all their clues together and find Evie's grandfather before it's too late"-- Provided by publisher.
