The pranks pulled off are so fantastically fun that it's almost dangerous to let kids read it." --<i>Chris Rylander, Sid Fleischman Humor Award Winner and author of The Fourth Stall series</i> <p/>"A book that I simply cannot keep on my library shelves . . . kids eat this book up with a spoon." --<i>Elizabeth Bird, Fuse #8, New York Public Library</i> <p/>"Reading Pickle makes me want to fill an entire school waist-deep with bean dip; stage an impromptu zombie attach during lunchtime; wear a cowbow hat while driving a herd of house cats through the halls. . . . Whatever it moves you to do, you'll find Pickle to be inspired fun." --<i>Matthew Holm, co-creator of Babymouse and Squish</i> <p/>"Baker writes with a light and lively hand, depicting a realistic urban setting peopled with engaging characters from various ethnic backgrounds." --<i>The Horn Book</i> <p/>"Sure to please anyone with a puckish sense of humor or a hankering for innocent prank ideas." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Even though this is a fast-paced, humorous story, it tackles the true meanings of friendship. . . . Pair this with James Preller's Justin Fisher books or Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Probert's finely detailed, expressive illustrations depict the club's racially diverse makeup. Baker's debut novel shows promise and offers an enjoyable read." --<i>School Library Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Kim Baker moved around a lot as a kid, which taught her two things: silliness is a great way to make pals, and goofy people make the best friends. She lives in Seattle with her family and still goofs off. A lot. <i>Pickle</i> is her first book.</p>
