i just reread this and it made me a happy panda (the scary thing is i think i read this like ten years ago the first time). The coincidence laden plot becomes trite at times but all and all the novel is light hearted and easy to read in the bath after a much too complex day. YAY STARS!

The sequel to The Planets. Not as good as The Planets in my opinion, but still an entertaining read from Boylan. Full of oddballs and misfits in suburban Philadelphia.

recommends it for: Those who know what it feels like to be unwanted yet refuse to give up
A labyrinth of most strange incidents fully packed with characters you could only find in the twilight zone movies that leads into a bizzare family reunion. A real page turner!
