Animals in teeny hats, Wonderland-style logic, and loads of wordplay and sarcasm will keep readers giggling all the way through." -- Kirkus Reviews "Exhilarating. Fans of a Series of Unfortunate Events will be drawn to this." -- Booklist "A rollicking read, full of derring-do and old-fashioned villainy." -- School Library Journal "Funny, offbeat, and subversive . occasional footnotes and other humorous asides from the omniscient narrator break the fourth wall and ramp up the playfulness.

" -- The Horn Book Magazine "Narrated with a smart, brisk tone and plenty of snark. T he Explorers: The Door in the Alley packs plenty of twists, turns and danger." -- Shelf Awareness.
