"de Guzman’s humorous, snappily paced caper introduces another spunky, credible young hero. Deftly orchestrating both plot and characters, de Guzman ends the tale on a perfectly pitched note."
-- Starred, Publishers Weekly

"Plot progression is steady, well paced, and broken up into short chapters of clear, concise detail. Language and writing styles are visual and uncomplicated, with engaging characters that lend an authentic feel to the story."
-- School Library Journal
