Meddling Kids (Cantero) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Cantero will win readers’ hearts with this goofy, smart love letter to childhood adventure and enduring friendship.… [With] a powerful sorcerer who plans to summon a world-ending leviathan. The prose is fast and funny, and the quirky, lovable characters are absolutely irresistible.
Publishers Weekly


Darker than the meddling kids of Scooby Doo fame; from the author of The Supernatural Enhancements.
Library Journal


(Starred review.) Cantero’s imagination is vivid, and the story, once it gains speed, continues at a breakneck, roller-coaster pace. He plays with form and style, which makes for an enjoyable romp. Fans of modern takes on Lovecraft and those that are nostalgic for the cartoons of their childhood will like this novel.
Booklist


Cantero is a lively, capable writer, but this isn't much of a stretch for him; he seems determined to occupy the middlebrow midrange… Meddling? Middling. A pleasing enough confection, but no great advance for either pop culture or the author's development.
