HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
– Frank Cottrell Boyce
Poor Danny Wallace! Once kids get their hands on this quirky and hilarious book, they're gonna be bugging him to write Hamish stories 'til he's 97.
– Tim Minchin
Original, quirky and super silly, Wallace has written a great book that kids - particularly boys - will really enjoy.
– The Sun
Like David Walliams, Wallace is a comedian turned children's author. Of the two, Wallace's writing is the funnier.
– Children's Book of the Week, The Sunday Times
Wallace's vividly imagined adventure cracks along at a brisk pace. Bristling with one-liners, it has an easy, unforced humour and a strong sense of excitement… Time freezing is a neat device and Wallace uses it skilfully to make almost anything seem possible.
– The Guardian
