Reviews

[Beverly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Little bit of a surprise ending.

[June · Rating 4 out of 5]

I always liked this story of a new kid and the surprise ending. Similar to Space Case, but without the Halloween tie-in. It was very well received at Films and Stories. Received "What a nice story." comment.
