Praise for LOONIVERSE #2: MELTDOWN MADNESS"Liberally endowed with jokes, twists and comical line drawings, the tale scrambles its way energetically to a chocolaty resolution." -KIRKUS REVIEWSPraise for PUNISHED!"This lighthearted fantasy would be an excellent classroom read-aloud.

He is the author of over thirty-five books, for readers ranging from first grade through high school and beyond. These include PUNISHED!

Matt lives in Utah with his beautiful, supportive wife and their three rambunctious kids (who are a constant source of inspiration!).
