The Order of Oddfish

Order of Oddfish – Sidebar

“Hilarious . . . Readers with a finely tuned sense of the absurd are going to adore the Technicolor ride.”
—Booklist

“Fantasy done to a clever, grotesque, nonsensical turn.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“A work of mischievous imagination and outrageous invention.” —Time Out Chicago

“An extraordinary and delightfully weird romp that’s one part China Mieville, one part Lemony Snicket, with trace amounts of Madeline L’Engle and Roald Dahl . . . Kennedy has filled 400+ pages with a series of strange turn-ups and adventures that grow progressively more outlandish and funny, such that when you think he’s surely run out of runway and must crash, he finds new, unsuspected weirdness to explore.” —Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother, For The Win, and co-editor of Boing Boing
