Praise for Life of Zarf: The Troll Who Cried Wolf:
"Harrell tells the tale Wimpy Kid-style with punch lines, much of
the dialogue, and snarky asides...delivered by a cast of deadpan
cartoon figures." —Kirkus Reviews
"Gather up all of your preteen boys and booktalk this title
immediately!" — School Library Connection
"This zippy illustrated novel merges fairy tales and
middle-schoolangst skillfully." —Booklist
Life of Zarf: The Trouble with Weasels Accolades:
A 2014 BEA Buzz Pannel selection
“Entertainingly goofy. A promising series kickoff full of
off-kilter action and humor.” —Publishers Weekly
"A Wimpy Kid format with a fairy-tale twist? Yes, this is bound to
be a hit... This is a witty twist on ordinary school-day troubles,
and Harrell’s turning of familiar fairy-tale tropes on their heads
adds to the charm (and a lot to the amusement factor)...this ought
to find a sweet spot at the nexus betweenfans of humor and fans of
fractured fantasies."—Booklist
