A total delight . . . the riddling 21st century heir to The Phantom Tollbooth and Alice in Wonderland - witty, nonsensical, paradoxical and completely charming. Just don't get turned into a teapot . . . - Piers Torday
Alice in Wonderland meets Descartes . . . absurdly sophisticated but, above all, very good fun - The Times, Children's Book of the Week
