Over the past 20 years, I’ve read these books, given them as gifts to my husband and sons for Christmas and birthdays. The writing is always good, and this book (Fully Loaded), like so many others that we’ve had over the years, is definitely worth reading and definitely worth owning.” —IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards Judge “Our friend Patrick Merrell has a new book out that would make a great gift for the elementary or middle school child in your life. Hunting for Heroes, which also has the title iFlush because it’s published by the infamous Uncle John’s series, is a beautiful book jam-packed with puzzles galore. The lucky recipient of this book will stay busy for hours learning about heroes, big and small.” —Deb Amlen, the New York Times “I have learned so much from you guys. Thank you for being amazing!” —Reece T. 19 “My friend in school was reading Bathroom Readers, so then I bought a couple, and now my mom says I’m just threatening her with my intelligence.” —Chase O. “I love these books! I read them on my commute bus in the morning, and during my lunch hour. They are definitely not just for the bathroom.” —Alison G.
