“
Throw Nancy Drew, an action movie, a couple of graphic novels, Dr. Phil and a bunch of talented (and precocious) 11-year-olds in a blender, mix them up… what’d you get is something pretty close to Anna Smudge. And, just for the record, it’s a whole lotta fun.”

I showed this book to some eleven-year-olds who summed up how I felt in one word: Wow!”
