"A breezy combination of wild charicature, computer-savvy contemporary sensibility and lavatorial jokes that should appeal to nine to twelve year olds" (The Sunday Times)
"Adopts a relentless narrative pace. There's only one tempo permitted - fast-forward . . . Wonderful read-aloud material" (TES)
"Terrific invention, magic, jokes and an excellent narrative style" (Tony Bradman Daily Telegraph)
