Praise

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"There's an appealing folkloric tinge to this novel....Reluctant readers may also appreciate the very short chapters (some are no more than two pages in length) and the easygoing dialogue." July/August 2002

Riverbank Review
"Creech's bright humor, vivid characterization, and deft language, combined with the twists and turns of the plot, make reading this novel aloud a rare treat." - Lee Galda Winter 2002-2003
