Carnegie-scooping Patrick Ness pulls off a zany caper with verve... An entire subplot about how the country of France ended up on Zeke the monitor lizard’s knee is deftly rolled into this pacey, knockabout plot.
The Observer
This zany school adventure has likeable characters and explores friendship, growing up, and a parent who is fighting their own battles.

Waterstones September’s Best Children’s Books 2024
Ness expertly mixes perceptive observation of the pressures of school and home life, and the compensations of friendship, with some situations and characters that are so way out that it is a wonder he can get away with it…It’s a tale that is beyond unpredictable: crazy, funny, and tender. Running through the laughter and bravura invention, there is an uplifting faith in our capacity to understand, love and support one another. <b>Sheer unmissable brilliance</b>...You will see it nowhere else.
Books for Keeps, Editor’s Choice
A laugh-out-loud, lump-in-your-throat tale about identity and friendship […] A classic series in the making, made even funnier by Tim Miller's wonderful ink drawings.
