"Vibrant, bright and eye-catching." Cloverhill book reviews
"The humour of the writing stands out, and is helped by the comic book form, which allows for witty asides and good ‘punch line’ panels. Emma Dodd’s bright and dynamic drawing style brings out both the humour and the hurtling pace of the story." Armadillo magazine
