Praise for Captain Raptor and the Perilous Planet

Praise for Captain Raptor and the Moon Mystery

  • Chicago Public Library's "Best of the Best" Award
  • Golden Duck Award
  • "Presented in comic-book style, this story blends an eye-catching layout with a quick-moving plot, tongue-in-cheek humor, and an imaginative setting. The text has a melodramatic tone that suits the tale perfectly. . . . Sci-fi fans and dinophiles will eat this book up, and it might also capture the interest of reluctant readers."--School Library Journal, starred review

    • Praise for Captain Raptor and the Space Pirates
  • A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
  • Golden Duck Award
  • "Few readers--reluctant or otherwise--will be able to resist this clever mix of dinosaurs, pirates, and science fiction."--School Library Journal, starred review
  • "Many [young readers] will find the combination of scaly skin, huge teeth, elaborate spaceships, and explosions on nearly every page completely irresistible. A sure hit with dino/sf fans and an undoubted draw for reluctant readers."--Booklist
  • "Rendered in realistic, gloriously melodramatic detail, the toothy, armored dinosaurs look ready to burst out of their comics-style panels, blasters blazing. O'Malley and O'Brien have way too much fun here, and the Captain's legions of fans will, too."--Kirkus Reviews
