In my April 24 post about David Lee Stone's Ratastrophe Catastrophe (Book 1 of The Illmoor Chronicles ), I said I did not care for it because it was just not my kind of humor and the characters were not well-developed. Well, my husband read the book and loved it! His comment was that Stone seems "like Terry Pratchett's son," (i.e., not quite as good as Pratchett but with a promising future as a Pratchett-styled satirist). My husband is now reading the sequel, The Yowler Foul-UP, and he says he's sure our boys will love these books. Since my library does not have Book 1, I will recommend it to the children's librarians.
