Reviews for The Milk Chicken Bomb:
"The Milk Chicken Bomb is pure 10-year-old charm; the prose jumps off the page, it sparkles." - Colleen Gillis, Broken Pencil
"Wedderburn's prose has an alluringly musical style [...] Wedderburn leaves it up to us to devise our stories and figure out our own answers, adding to the book's overall charm and mystique." - Quill & Quire
"Marvin is filled with quirky characters and Wedderburn paints them clearly and colourfully, giving each a depth and uniqueness that makes The Milk Chicken Bomb an engaging read. [...] It's the combination of comic moments and unique characters that make this book successful. While the narrator remains aloof, the town, its inhabitants and their sometimes strange activities are thrown into sharp relief, making The Milk Chicken Bomb a fun read and a poignant look at life in the prairies." - Aneka Rao, Rabble.ca
