"From the mega-talented Dan Santat comes a hilarious and beautifully illustrated tale of friendship, adventure and mystery. Sashimi is FRESH!!!" -Dav Pilkey, creator of Dogman and Captain Underpants

"Your kids? They will love it. Adults everywhere? They’ll steal it when their kids are asleep to read it themselves. People, it is just. That. Good." -Betsy Bird, Evanston Public Library

★ "Santat is a master, with a wide variety of titles to his name, and this latest madcap adventure shows off the uproarious side of his decades of skill and talent. Dog Man fans looking for their next favorite series will line up for this." -Booklist, starred review

★ "Slapstick adventure, middle school hijinks, and churlish humor drip from this literal fish-out-of-water tale by Santat (Thick as Thieves).... [A] laugh-out-loud graphic novel series opener, which features a steady stream of jokes and bitingly funny asides" -Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "Santat once again astounds... Overflowing with manic wit and charm, A Fishboy Named... Sashimi is bound to be the next great children's cartoon hero." -Shelf Awareness, starred review

★ "Clever diagrams, effective text-illustration interplay, and fully realized characters balance comic energy with emotional depth. Themes of friendship and finding community in others resonate strongly... A must-purchase for all middle grade graphic novel collections."-School Library Journal, starred review

"Introducing a hero who’s both relatable and ridiculous, this first in a new series promises more compelling adventures ahead... Silly yet sincere, a satisfying start to a serial story of self-discovery." -Kirkus

"Santat leans into his zany side with this graphic-novel-series launch about a fish out of water—literally... Readers who enjoy their first visit to Barnacle Bay are in luck, as a second Sashimi book is on the horizon." -Horn Book

"[W]acky humor [lands] this a spot between Dog Man and Hilo on the early graphic novel shelf." -BCCB
