A natural descendant of the works of Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl while hewing close to the droll atmospherics of Edward Gorey and Lemony Snicket. Booklist (starred; top ten debut of 2008). Canadian Children's Book News. Zorgamazoo is a story rich in clever wordplay, unusual characters, and fantastic circumstances.The book s illustrations are reminiscent of the oval-eyed, twiggish vulnerability of Tim Burton s creations, and the details of the story traverse some of the same dark territory. The Globe and Mail.
