Editorial Reviews

Review

"An uproariously funny and surprisingly sophisticated book." -- Newsweek

"The story has vitality and rock-the-boat humor." -- School Library Journal

"A contemporary tall tale that will stretch middle graders' imagination, sense of humor, and enthusiasm for reading. For absurdity with perfect timing, not many can match." -- Booklist

"An uproar of a book. You're so busy laughing." -- Children's Book Review Service
