Description

Sixth-grader Brad makes the mistake of drawing instead of paying attention in class. When Brad’s parents ground him from drawing, his bratty little brother Daley rubs it in. Later that night, Brad is surprised when a mysterious crow delivers a pen to his bedroom window. Missing his beloved drawing and frustrated with his brother, Brad uses the pen to draw a Daley-Destroyer, a giant slimy green creature that he envisions “getting” Daley. To Brad’s surprise, the pen is a magic pen, and the Daley-Destroyer comes to life, just as he imagined it, slime and all, and starts going after Daley!

Featured Reviews

My 10-year-old son absolutely loved this book! It is fun, imaginative and captivating. He didn't want to put it down and read it in the course of one say. He then asked if it was part of a series because he wanted more. Five stars.

Fantastic sibling rivalry tale that will appeal to any 10-year-old with a younger sibling. When Brad gets in trouble, his younger brother does what any self-respecting sibling does--he rubs it in. That is until Brad's drawing comes to life. Great book that hopefully gets a sequel.

Thank you NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for the opportunity to read an advance reading copy.
