Rex Dexter is cursed. . . with brains. . . and daring. . . and more than his fair share of devilish good looks. But also with an actual curse: dead animals keep showing up in his bedroom, wanting him to solve their murders. After successfully sleuthing a series of endangered animal assassinations, Rex is pretty sure he' s home free, spiritually speaking. But that' s when he finds a two thousand pound narwhal in his beanbag chair. And this tough guy is dead. And super crabby about it. Fishy business is at hand. And as if that' s not bad enough, Rex' s mom has a stressful new job. His new teacher may be part of a Russian hit squad. His best friend Darvish is distracted by a role-playing game. And, horror of horrors, Rex may accidentally have a girlfriend. Rex Dexter is neck-deep in dead pet problems. And he' s determined to solve them. Or let his best friend Darvish die trying.
Picture-book author Reynolds brings his knack for off-kilter comedy to his first novel in a gleefully entertaining fashion. --Booklist Praise for The Incredibly Dead Pets of Rex Dexter: * In this entertainingly spooky romp, Reynolds tempers his morbid premise with the absurdity of Rex' s situation, the ghostly entourage' s distinct personalities, and a hilarious, simultaneously formal and sarcastic, narrative voice. --Publishers Weekly, starred review Reynolds is bound to attract fans drawn to overconfident Rex and whatever challenge the Grim Reaper cares to deal him. --BCCB Reynolds' new series debut is nonstop comedy. --Kirkus The mystery has a twist ending that will surprise and satisfy readers who thought they knew what was coming. . . . Purchase where funny books are popular--that' s everywhere, right? --School Library Journal
