First 'official' review from Kirkus

The first official review returned from Kirkus last night. I opened it while peeping through a gap in my fingers, fearing what might lie written inside. Imagine my surprise when they mentioned two of my greatest heroes! So I am pleased to share with you the best bit ... I removed the little spoiler:

"Tom is a down-to-earth narrator, and his dream making is as clever as Roald Dahl’s in The BFG (1982). His adventures are also reminiscent of traveling through Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, and the driving later subplot of the book ... ends well. Although the book is the first in a planned series, the story feels complete and self-contained. It also includes QR codes to play the music included in the book, which is a nice touch for readers with the proper technology." Kirkus Reviews
