When Santa Wrote Back! by me and Pablo Pino is "straight up hilarious," according to this incredibly smart reviewer.

Karen Yin (Nice to Eat You / Scholastic) 🧙🏻‍♀️🎃 @karenyin.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Thank you, Kirkus Reviews, for the absolutely bewitching review of #NiceToEatYou! “Coroa’s artwork magnifies both the silliness and the suspense of Yin’s clever text, making for a book that’s both hilarious and (just a bit) scary.” 🧙‍♀️🖤🧁 Read more: www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Featured on a brownish black background is a review from Kirkus Reviews in bright green: "Hilarious and (just a bit) scary." Below it is the cover of Nice to Eat You, which shows a pink-faced cat-eye-glasses-wearing old lady holding a platter of cupcakes, the other hand raised in welcome. The word "Eat" is written next to the word "Meet," which has been X-ed out. Behind her, leafless trees with haunted faces scream silently under a crescent moon. A sky-blue burst with "Out now" is tacked to the upper right corner of the book.

If you enjoyed The Odyssey, you might like other Greek mythology retellings... Such as my picture book, Medusa's Pet Rock 😁 If you want signed copies (and a Medusa sticker), you can pre-order at @mrmoppsbooks.bsky.social ! www.stephlaubooks.com/medusa
