Reviews 
"There really is no good way to describe The Chaos King, and perhaps that’s Ruby’s intent. The Chaos King is an original, intelligent, fantastic, multilayered, funny, frightening, optimistic, magical urban fantasy with vividly drawn characters, creatures, and places. Tweens and older readers who liked Balliett Blue’s Chasing Vermeer , but who have a darker twist to their minds, might want to chase this one down. - Monster Librarian

"Like the first book, this one works as a stand-alone -- there is some information from the first book that is repeated, but it's minimal ... and the major story lines are wrapped up at the end." - Bookshelves of Doom

"Writing a novel that introduces so many fantastical elements takes an experienced hand, and the author certainly has that. She builds her world so seamlessly that I never once felt the pace slow down. Nor were there questions about this world that took me out of the story. Everything was explained clearly, succinctly, and at the right time." - Yat-Yee Chong

"Readers will be clamoring for more stories about Georgie, Bug, Noodle, the distracted professor, the amazing talking hand and the whole cast of zany characters. What a wild ride!" - Kids Reads
