About this title

Review:

FOR THE BOXES
'Sleator is the master of the juvenile creepy-crawly, and his inventiveness is at full power here, with strong storytelling . . .'

(HORN BOOK REVIEW)

FOR INTERSTELLAR PIG
'A riveting adventure ... Terrifyingly vivid, coupled with a high-flying sense of humour.'

(NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)

Sleator's science fiction story is compelling on first reading - but stellar on the second ... raises enough questions to keep readers thinking - and wondering - well past the last page. (SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL)

far-out ideas and expert pace [...] there's an added dimension of poignancy in the character of Marco [...] something of an intergalactic Flying Dutchman. (HORN BOOK REVIEW)

Book Description:
