Aldo Zelnick: “better written and better illustrated than any Wimpy Kid book,” says children’s librarian

In her excellent Secrets & Sharing Soda children’s lit blog, children’s librarian Katie recently had this to say about Finicky, Glitch and the whole Aldo Zelnick series:

“Greg Heffley might be more popular these days, but I think the Aldo Zelnick books are consistently better written and better illustrated than any Wimpy Kid book. I am always impressed by the strong writing, and these two books really highlight the wonderful job Kendra Spanjer does with the illustrations. Aldo is a loveable character with realistic child-like thoughts, and his stories have lots of heart and learning opportunities, and they’re lots of fun to read.”
