"A cast of dynamic, memorable characters, plenty of humor (a Staunton trademark) and well–paced plots with believable school–age conflicts and satisfying endings. . . . Highly recommended."
–Canadian Materials
"Staunton's strength is that he uses humor to engage the reader while exploring problems that loom large on the pre–teen radar."
