“More Grimm than Disney, Lilly and Fraser-Allen are unafraid to challenge their young readers and offer up a cautionary tale that promises to delight those willing to take the journey.” <b>- Comics Online </b><br /><br />"Mystery, misanthropy, and mischief combine in this delightfully dark cautionary tale, written in an absorbing limerick style."<b> - Foreword Reviews</b><br /><br />"<i>The Squickerwonkers</i> is a strange and wacky book but a fun one all the same. Lilly’s set-up of the story definitely makes it seem as though we could potentially see more of the Squickerwonkers in later installments (which I, for one, will be looking forward to!)." <b>- Mugglenet</b><br /><br />"She’s not underselling it: parts Brothers Grimm, Roald Dahl and Tim Burton. <i>The Squickerwonkers</i> lurks at the shadowy end of the kids-lit spectrum” <b>- Total Film</b><br /><br />"Evangeline Lilly's <i>The Squickerwonkers</i> is a creepy crawly delight." <b>- Barnes & Noble Book Blog <br /></b><br />“<i>The Squickerwonkers</i> is an amazing book.” <b>- Comic Vine</b><br /><br />"Delightfully dark cautionary tale, written in an absorbing limerick style."<b> - Foreword Reviews<br /></b><br />"A clever, creepy children's book." <b>- Vulture</b><br /><br />"The rare kind of kids' book that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike."<b> - Movies.com</b><br /><br />"The dark, alluring tale of a spoiled girl who's taken in by a band of eccentric marionettes." <b>- USA Today </b><br /><br />"[a] delightfully dark read, illustrated in at once unsettling and beautiful fashion by WETA designer Johnny Fraser-Allen" <b>- Comics Alliance</b><br /><br />"With Squickerwonkers, Lilly set out to write a book that both children and parents could enjoy — since parents will be the ones reading the book over and over. She has succeeded." <b>- She Knows</b><br /><br />"Thanks to consistently playing tough, independent, ass-kicking women, it's easy to imagine that Evangeline Lilly spends her down time climbing mountains or big-wave surfing, but the truth is she's actually a very gifted writer. She's written a truly delightful and sophisticated children's book called The Squickerwonkers, and the easiest way to pitch it is to say were it a movie, it'd be right at home alongside the likes of Coraline and ParaNorman." <b>- Movies.com</b>
