Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"An exuberant, pun-heavy romp for readers who like their mysteries served with maximum silliness and steady sleuthing." --Kirkus Reviews "Slapstick humor (who knew gnomes could be villains?), clueless Watson, puns, and expressive characters make for a fun and silly graphic novel." --School Library Journal
