TESTIMONIALS

What They’re Saying

Kirkus Reviews

Gordon Korman

"Marcionette, a sixth grader himself, creates a humorous character who takes readers on an enjoyable journey…Fans of Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Rachel Renée Russell’s Dork Diaries will enjoy this title."

School and Library Journal

"Just Jake is going to make a lot of readers happy; it's already made this reader very happy."

"Aimed directly at fans of series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid…Jake’s first-person narrative looks and feels like a sixth-grader’s real-time memoir, complete with water stains, doodles and examples of Jake’s signature Kid Cards…An eye-catching read."
