"Margaret Mahy is outstanding in the richness of her ideas and in her great storytelling ability." Twentieth Century Children's Writers "Of course, like everything Margaret Mahy writes, it is very funny... written with an awareness of the possibilities of language which can only be called poetic, and drawing convincing family relationships... such pleasures should be widely shared." TES "Mahy's impulsive, 'non-predictable' style makes all convincing by sheer vividness and verve." TLS
