Reviews

Gaiman knocks it out of the park again with this imaginative story. -- School Library JournalThis would also make a wonderful readaloud, but don't be surprised if the kids insist that it be read in one sitting--and maybe with a side of cookies and milk. -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"[A] delightful tale." -- Wall Street Journal"If your kids still allow you to read aloud to them, this book is for you." -- Newsday"[A]n astounding tale...an absolute delight to read out loud....one part Douglas Adams, one part Doctor Who, and one part The Usual Suspects." -- boingboing.com"It's hard not to love a novel that borrows equally from Calvin and Hobbes and The Usual Suspects. If you read only one book this year, a story with dancing dwarfs is always a wise choice." -- Kirkus Reviews
