"Remarkably insightful story of a young boy's struggle.. he has been diagnosed as autistic, but the amazing truth of his situation is soon reveled: it used to make me cry!"
"I don't believe Anne Fine has ever written a bad book! She tackles tricky subjects with a sense of humour, and makes it possible to talk easily about what would otherwise be taboo"
"A captivating, haunting story which gives a glimpse of the past and turns every child into a detective.. gripping stuff!! (the bagthorpe saga books by Cresswell are also fantastic)!"
"I loved these stories so much... I was ever thankful that there were so many so that by the time I finished the last one, I could start again at the beginning and never get bored!"
