Praise for My Pet, Peeve
"[My Pet, Peeve​ is] a rollicking debut from an author and illustrator we should all keep an eye on."​ —Adam Rex, Author of Nothing Rhymes with Orange
"​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! "

"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."
—Steven J. Neuner, Author of Dogs on Heaven Street
"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!"​​
