I love penguins. I love curses. I love to laugh. I did not love this book. But I'm not the target audience. My step-son thought it was hysterical and that's what matters to me.

Ridiculous. Hilarious. Moderately horrifying.
Recommended for upper elementary and middle grade readers.

I haven't laughed this hard out loud during a book since Good Omens. I want Dream Works to get cracking at the animated franchise. Henry Zebrowski must voice Gunther. I stand firm on this. Hurry, before we lose Mel Brooks because he has to have a cameo! Fun for all ages. Get it for the next family trip.

I listened to this audiobook with my 9 year old son. We laughed out loud several times! We loved it.

The moment I saw the title for this book, I knew I had to read it! It’s definitely a great book for middle school readers. The humor is a little to on the nose at some points but a younger crowd will really enjoy it.

I had very high expectations for this book that showed up on NPR's best of 2019 list. It didn't quite meet those expectations. It's cute, but is a little too "everything is awful and nothing good can happen" (think Series of Unfortunate Events) for me.
