Editorial Review | A rather charming children s book. The story is clever, wittily told and bristles with spiky humour and it could quite possibly become a new favorite among schoolchildren. ...Huxley s standing as one of the grandfathers of dystopian Y.A. is already established. Perhaps the next generation will think of him as that guy who wrote about crows eggs. --New York Times ARTSBEAT blog Huxley s story starts good and grim just the thing to hold a young audience --Kirkus Reviews -- |
