Reviews for Future Ratboy and the Quest for the Missing Thingy

[Ryan · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I’m sorry but it was sort of boring I love your books and the only reason it was boring is because it was not an audio book I also love how all your Barry loser books have references to the books and that rat boy a seperate book is seen as a superhero there
