Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2011:Neville puts an inspired twist on the age-old challenge of making new friends. Author Norton Juster, best known for The Phantom Tollbooth, uses a minimum of text to great effect, melding beautifully with G. Brian Karas's mixed media illustrations to tell the story. Neville begins with a boy sent by his mother out into their new neighborhood to "take a little walk down the block." He’s not at all happy about the situation, but comes up with a brilliant idea that soon has all the neighborhood children rallied around him. The enthusiasm and joy of their undertaking and the ease in which a unified effort can forge childhood friendships are spot-on. The surprise ending invites gales of laughter and--fortunately--Neville is a book that can be read over and over again without losing the fun. --Seira Wilson --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Review

Starred Review, School Library Journal, September 2011:
"...this ingenious foray into breaking into a new neighborhood makes for an amusing and appealing story."

Starred Review, Booklist, October 15, 2011:
"The story’s simple charm comes to life in Juster’s well-paced, spare language. Karas’ deft mixed-media sketches carry remarkable weight. A harmonious blend of text and illustration, this is a warm, reassuring choice for all children who know the anxieties that come with big life changes."

My three and six year old boys enjoyed the book! We already had a few books about leaving our old house behind and having our same stuff at a new house but this book simply touches on making new friends in a new neighborhood!

A wacky just moved story

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017

A little boy moves to a new neighborhood. He is not excited about it. His mom encourages him to walk around the block and see if he can meet anyone. Skeptical, the boy heads out and then he decides to just holler, "Neville." Soon he has a whole crowd of kids hollering Neville's name, with questions as to who Neville is. None of them realize that Neville has been there the whole time.

Could be helpful for a kid who has moved. Not exactly a tactic I'd suggest to someone who'd just moved, but makes for a somewhat comical story that could break the post-move blues. It does beg the question of whether the kids will like him after he kinda lied to them the day before...hmm. (Of course, they also didn't ever ask his name, so it is partly their fault.)
