Critic reviews

"An extraordinary novel ... enchantingly funny and subversive ... There really is nobody quite like Almond writing in children's or adult fiction today." ( The Times)
"A funny, tender tale from the master of contemporary storytelling." ( Publishing News)
"This beautiful book ... will make children laugh while encouraging them to believe in themselves and others and to tolerate strangeness." ( Publishing News)
