'Het boek blinkt uit in gekkigheid, verbeeldingskracht en vindingrijkheid.' - The Guardian 'Dit is zeker de moeite waard om meer dan eens te lezen, er is zoveel om naar te kijken en om te lachen. Ik vind het zelfs nóg beter dan de beroemde en enorm populaire Boomhut-serie.' - Whatbooknext.com 'Deels leesboek, deels graphic novel, en helemaal vol humor en speelsheid, deze serie zal Griffiths-fans doen genieten en nieuwe fans voor zich winnen.' - Books+Publishing
