"[P]age-turning tension. It's this roller coaster, along with the essential goodness of the characters (except, perhaps, for Constance), that will draw kids to this breathless follow-up." Booklist

"[A]nother grand adventure....Though still entertainingly quirky, this second doorstopper episode has more of an air of trading on the previous one's cleverness than building on it." Kirkus Reviews
