Reviews for Roosevelt Banks

"Broad humor lightens the load and nuanced friendships enrich it."
-- Kirkus Reviews

"So he sploosh-squeeks a little. And he puts frogs in his mouth...and sticks boogers up Mozart's nose. He's just Roosevelt Banks, a typical 4th grader, and he's on a mission."
-- Darleen Bailey Beard, award-winning author of Twister, The Flimflam Man, and others

"Hooray for Roosevelt Banks, and his hilarious and big-hearted misadventures."
-- Claudia Mills, author of Nixie Ness, Cooking Star

"This is an excellent choice for middle-grade readers who appreciate humor with
emotional bite, especially those navigating friendship shifts, fairness (or lack thereof),
and the exhausting effort of trying to get it right." Read the full review here.
