Critic Reviews

“"Pete Johnson is a hilarious writer."”

Johnson's tween characters are always wry, ironic and dry, cracking jokes that their parents often miss but their readers notice with glee. . . . This is not to say that the horror element is completely window dressing - The Vampire Blog builds some real tension with the threat to Marcus, and there are some creepy scenes in the woods and some gruesome scenes with a goodly dollop of fangly terror. Perfect The Bookbag
Pete Johnson's modern tale consists of Marcus' online blog in which he discusses his extraordinary discovery and the chilling events that ensue! Nursery Education
Once again award winning Pete Johnson has produced an accessible, amusing and enjoyable story -- Audrey Baker School Library Association
