Praise

Kirkus Reviews
"If there's any justice in the world, Clements may have something of a classic on his hands. By turns amusing and adroit, this first novel is also utterly satisfying....With comically realistic black-and-white illustrations by Selznick, this is a captivating tale--one to press upon children, and one they'll be passing among themselves." 07/01/1996

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"This is a refreshingly original plot whose combination of clandestine revolt and language-arts lesson is surprisingly successful. The action is sometimes too adult-driven, and the peripheral characters are easy to lose track of, but Clements keeps the narrative kid-accessible and the tussle with authority gleeful despite its restraint." - Deborah Stevenson October 1996
