“Very engaging, highly entertaining, and sometimes enlightening. A fresh, effervescent combination of mystery, adventure, and teen angst.” - Booklist (starred review)
“A sympathetic and hapless teen antihero who manages to retain his sense of humor even when the chips are way, way down. Carlton’s parallel black-and-white comics do a clever job. Fluffy, but with that spicy edge of a deep-thinking outsider.” - School Library Journal (starred review)
