Praise for Justin Case: School, Drool, and Other Daily Disasters:

A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2010
An IndieBound Selection for Fall 2010

“The writing is sharp, unpredictably clever, and establishes third grade as a minefield of the absurd—which is to say, real life.” —Avi, Newbery medalist

* “Vail employs easy, direct language in a rhythm and syntax that captures the essence of a charming, lovable, and very believable boy. Readers transitioning to longer fiction will groan, sympathize, and laugh out loud in delight. Absolutely marvelous.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Honest and full of heart, Justin Case is a story for an oft-ignored segment of kids: the sensitive, introverted, and observant. The format will remind many readers of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but with fewer illustrations and a more reflective tone than Jeff Kinney’s series. This is subtly satisfying storytelling.” —School Library Journal
