Praise for Mordecai Richler’s
Jacob Two-Two series:

Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang

“Mordecai Richler is a funny man, a good writer, and everyone should go out tomorrow morning and beat his local bookseller into submission if he hasn’t got a nice plump display of books titled Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang…. It is ghastly and funny … an unbelievably believable unbelievable place with no artificial sweeteners or preservatives.”

– The New York Times Book Review

Jacob Two-Two’s First Spy Case

“… the story combines zippy dialogue, clever magic tricks, and even a chapter in mirror writing, with opprobrious names and grossness galore…. It will undoubtedly be greeted with shrieks of joy and loud guffaws from children employing their all-too-natural baser instincts.”

– The Horn Book Magazine

Jacob Two-Two and the Dinosaur

“There is a reckless momentum to Richler’s narrative, a rhythm of slap-dash invention that mimics the frantic pace of childhood fantasy. Yet Richler’s tale is well-ventilated with adult wit.”

– Maclean’s
