Review:

"Witty repartee and extraordinary adventures . . . Dougherty has created an appealing combination of imagination, gross-out factor, classroom drama and humour. The illustrations are a perfect accompaniment of simplicity and silliness. Young confident readers will be delighted by this very "lousy" adventure and eager for a future sequel" (Armadillo)

"A book which could acquire cult status" (The School Librarian)

"This book is unique . . . Its appealing layout, large text and its simple yet effective black and white illustrations work very well. It's a great example of the quirky humour that younger readers enjoy" (Children's Books Ireland)

"A delightfully offbeat view of school life" (Junior)

"Parents my squirm at the subject matter but there's no denying that this is a hilarious story" (South Wales Argus)
