Pickle

"Pickle is fun and hilarious! The pranks pulled off are so fantastically fun that it's almost dangerous to let kids read it." --Chris Rylander, Sid Fleischman Humor Award Winner and author of The Fourth Stall series

"A book that I simply cannot keep on my library shelves . . . kids eat this book up with a spoon." --Elizabeth Bird, Fuse #8, New York Public Library

"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." --Matthew Holm, co-creator of Babymouse and Squish

"Baker writes with a light and lively hand, depicting a realistic urban setting peopled with engaging characters from various ethnic backgrounds." --The Horn Book

"Sure to please anyone with a puckish sense of humor or a hankering for innocent prank ideas." --Kirkus Reviews

"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." --Booklist

"Probert's finely detailed, expressive illustrations depict the club's racially diverse makeup. Baker's debut novel shows promise and offers an enjoyable read." --School Library Journal
