"[My Pet, Peeve​ is] a rollicking debut from an author and illustrator we should all keep an eye on."​

—Adam Rex, Bestselling Author and Illustrator of On Account of the Gum 

​

​"My Pet, Peeve is a hilarious, heartfelt story filled with laugh-out-loud moments and lively illustrations. You’ll wish Peeve was your pet—and be very glad he isn’t! The title had me hooked before I’d even cracked the cover, and the book did not disappoint. Kids will get a big kick out of this one. And when they find out its author is 14 years old? Make sure to have some paper and pencils ready because they will be inspired to sit down and write a story of    their own. Great work, Camden and Rylee!"

—Refe Tuma, Co-Author of the Bestselling What the Dinosaurs Did Last Night

                                        "[My Pet, Peeve is] a really fun story, with cool pictures as well. Camden has created                                           a great rhythm and has kept the fun in the story while still getting across an                                                        important message. Great stuff, a writing star of the future!​"

                                                      "In a time where rhyming children’s books are rare treasures, this                                                                    delightful tale sparkles with charm and wit. Crafting a story in                                                                     verse is no small feat—in fact, new authors are often cautioned to                                                                  keep away from rhythm and rhyme. Thank goodness (teenager!)                                                                   Camden Holley didn’t pay attention to that conventional wisdom,                                                                  because each page of My Pet, Peeve bursts with playful cadence and                                                             humor, proving that youth and talent can create magic that                                                                        captivates readers of all ages. An impressive, funny, refreshing debut!"

                                         "My Pet, Peeve is a fun and imaginative story that turns little habits                                                              that bug people into a silly creature kids can laugh at and learn                                                                   from. Camden did an incredible job bringing this idea to life, and                                                                   kids will really enjoy it."

                                                "[My Pet, Peeve is] a clever and effective moral tale delivered in a                                                                   fun, conversational rhyming style."

                                                                  —Blake Varnadoe, Young Author of Eclipsar

​

"...My Pet, Peeve by Camden S. Holley is a meditation on self-awareness and perspectives. The author doesn't shy away from a genuine moral lesson: we're often blind to our own annoying habits while hyper-focused on others'.  Holley uses Peeve to hold up a mirror; the narrator is just as bothersome and annoying as the creature, and so are we sometimes. Illustrated by Rylee Mullins with impressive skill, it is expressive in how it shows the ragged menace, which is Peeve, and the narrator's desperation to eliminate the creature. My Pet, Peeve is a remarkably sophisticated children’s poem for kids aged 8-12."
