And let's not forget this delightful, wildly inaccurate feature from a supermarket tabloid about Adam's night job:
Terrifying Tour of that Toddlin' Town
What the critics are saying:
"A comedic tightrope Selzer strolls across with style" - San Fransisco Book Review
"The premise has all the trappings of a predictable supernatural rom-com, but Selzer zigs where other authors would zag, turning the genre on its head and offering up an entirely refreshing and wonderfully witty romp that involves romance, intrigue, negotiations with vampire clans, and an enormous amount of unicorn poop." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
ON SPARKS (a Stonewall Honor Book)
"Touching and humorous....Debbie and her offbeat cohorts are nuanced and authentic." - Publishers Weekly
"Original and appealing...a kinetic and well-paced comedy that just might win a few converts." -Kirkus
ON I KISSED A ZOMBIE AND I LIKED IT:
Simultaneously a scathing parody of the paranormal-romance genre and a sweetly romantic paranormal love story in its own right, Alley and Doug's courtship will even appeal to Twilight fans-at least, to those Twilight fans with a sense of humor about the object of their affections. Hilarious. - Kirkus
With snappy dialogue and a light, funny touch, Selzer creates a readable examination of love, self-sacrifice, and where to draw the line before you lose yourself - Publisher's Weekly
The story is original, funny, unpredictable, romantic, and tragic. Selzer explores some basic teen issues like love, friendship, acceptance, commitment, and loss in a way that is realistic and that will make readers question their own values. An excellent addition to libraries with an occult following. - School Library Journal
This is one smart goth caper....Selzer brings the undead to vivid and crackling life - Booklist
ON SMART ALECK'S GUIDE TO AMERICAN HISTORY:
Speeding along on humor, Daily Show-style...the irreverent, often laugh-out-loud approach should win over reluctant readers. - Publisher's Weekly
In the vein of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert...witty and appealing. - School Library Journal
ON I PUT A SPELL ON YOU:
Selzer manages to make his comedy both grade school wacky and entertainingly satiric....the characters are suprisingly well developed...With the middle-school accessibility of Andrew Clements, the freewheeling humor of Gordon Korman, and a witty charm all its own, this will appeal to any youngster who appreciates a bit of adult-overthrowing mayhem, regardless of their ability to splel. - Bulletin of Children's Books
ON HOW TO GET SUSPENDED AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE:
"Smart and savvy on all fronts. . . . Full of read-out-loud-to-whoever-happens- to-be-around passages." - The Bulletin
