Reception

The novel was referenced as a suggesting reading for "less able adult readers" in 1982.[2] Critic of youth literature Lilian Shapiro was not a fan, and Kenneth Donelson in 1981 thought it was a "bit of fluff".[3] A decade later, Donelson remarked that "Zindel had turned into a jokester".[4] In 1982, Don Nilsen and Alleen Pace Nilsen praise Zindel's humor, including the "natural sounding grossness" in Chris' introduction of himself.[5]
