Reviews

[Johara Almogbel]

Love! The story is rather short but then again it sort of works better as a face paced chapter book. Lootna is awesome, and Coop is kind of a numbskull in the way Johnny Bravo is but equally amusing, too.

Definitely going to look for the rest of the stories in this collection, let's hope they're not out of print.
