"Packs an awful lot of fun into a very short read" – Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library

"A rather fun and endearing story … accompanied by some frankly brilliant artwork by Gareth Conway … he's managed to make even the most ordinary moments look dynamic and full of fun" – Trans-scribe, Blog
