"Sparkleton's flaws make him an accessible character and offer a good source of low-stakes tension. A quirky new series that's strong out of the gate." -- Kirkus Reviews "With adorable graphics and encouraging unicorns at the end of the chapters, Sparkleton is about to take elementary libraries by (glittery) storm." -- School Library Journal
