Industry Reviews
"Adults will relish this wild satire on modern education; young readers will enjoy the horror-story trappings of ghosts, bizarre occurrences, demonic possession, and the big, dark school that looks like Dracula's castle. A creation with wide appeal."
Kirkus (02/15/2004)
"[Bloor] has spun an ingenious, intricate tale that's as astute as it is entertaining."
New York Times Book Review - Sandy MacDonald (04/18/2004)
"[A] highly original, laceratingly irreverent satire."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (04/01/2004)
