Review:
THE BEASTIES: 'With all the moral complexity of H.G. Wells' THE TIME MACHINE ... May well leave readers with some soul-searching questions about nature's changing environment that resonate long after the cover is closed.' (Publisher's Weekly)
INTERSTELLAR PIG: '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)
THE NIGHT THE HEADS CAME: '... A thought-provoking, page-turning exploration of alien life forms.' (Booklist)
THE BOXES: 'William Sleator has git on another winner with this entertaining, pacy yarn.' (Birmingham Evening Mail, July 2001)
