Praise for Milkshake the Disappearing Milk Snake: A Graphic Novel

Praise for Class Pet Ghost Detective: What Happened to the Naked Mole Rat?

"A cross between Danny Phantom and Kim Possible . . .I can definitely see this series getting popular among young readers. A funny ghost, mysteries to solve, and a lead character I’m positive young readers will easily relate to—what’s not to like?" 
—Danielle DeVeaux, Books Inc.

Praise for J.D. and the Great Barber Battle, illustrated by Akeem S. Roberts:

*"This is authentic storytelling, supported by Roberts’ vigorous cartoons—full of styles that are straight fire."
—Kikus Reviews, starred review

"Akeem S. Roberts’ cartoon-style illustrations of J.D. and his friends are packed with personality and make this a great choice for readers transitioning into chapter books...feels like a winner.” 
—BookPage

"I love that level of cartoon quality to his artwork that felt like the best compliment to J. Dillard’s writing."
—BlackNerdProblems.com

"I got really attached to his style in the book too. Mr. Roberts has an animation background, and you can tell. Animators, after all, have a tendency to distinguish themselves when they illustrate books."
