"Spud-tacular ... Using colors as emphatic as the frequent sound effects, Ho cranks up the temperature in simply drawn panels of fast-food action that, ultimately, hurtles headlong into a peaceable caramelization and general celebrations of both differences and three new 'home fry heroes.' Readers will demand extra helpings." - Kirkus, for Fry Guys

"With zany illustrations, clever wordplay, and laugh-out-loud storytelling, this graphic novel is exactly the right kind of good-humored silliness for emerging readers who are just beginning to discover the fun of books." - School Library Journal, for Fry Guys

"The memorable potato characters and hilarious antics make this perfect for kids just getting into reading comics independently. Betcha can't read just one!" - Booklist, for Fry Guys
