"The mix of comic panels, word bubbles and bird's-eye tableaux is
terrific; Novak even provides a Quirkian history lesson via visual
flashbacks in old timey sepia and blue. Dystopian allegory, lively
storytelling, giggle-worthy pictures, boy appeal--yup: Everything's
here." --Starred, "Kirkus Reviews
""The 'quirky' illustrations and deadpan narration . . . is exactly
what will draw young readers in and keep them visiting." --"School
Library Journal"
