At the bottom right is the Mackids School & Library logo. The first quote reads: "will have all readers (and especially fans of Rick Riordan Presents titles) craving more. Highly recommended" - School LIbrary Journal The second quote reads: "A grand tale, funny and terrifying in turns, steeped in Ghanaian spirituality and folklore, and wrapped around themes of identity, obligation, true friendship, and devastating loss" - Kirkus, starred review To the right is the cover of the book being reviewed, Kwame Crashes The Underworld by Craig Kofi Farmer
