Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The house looked strange. It was completely empty now, and the door was flung wide open, like something wild had just escaped from it. Like it was the empty, two-story tomb of some runaway zombie."
Industry Reviews
"The slightly absurd edge to the comedy and the genuine humor of the banter in no way undercuts the force of the team's devotion and the bitter results of Erik's violence. Bloor is a promising new voice, and this is a richly imagined read about an underdog coming into his own."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (03/19/1997)
"This is an exciting, suspenseful, and thought-provoking book that should be a hit with soccer-playing middle schoolers."
Voya - Brenda Moses-Allen (08/19/1997)
"Smart, adaptable, and anchored by a strong sense of self-worth, Paul makes a memorable protagonist in a cast of vividly drawn characters; multiple yet taut plotlines lead to a series of gripping climaxes and revelations."
