Critic Reviews

'Another example of Gleitzman's real talent in writing honest stories that hit home with kids. In usual Gleitzman style, there are deeper underlying issues behind the hilarity, this time being a girl feeling worried and like she doesn't fit in anywhere. Her parents are always too busy for her, her teachers are out to get her, and she just doesn't belong.' KIDS' BOOK REVIEW (Megan Blandford)
