Adrian Barek liked Harvey Daneluk's review of Crazy Farm: "Good YA can be enjoyed readers of all ages, and this a good read. Enjoyed the characters especially Claudette and Buster. Washus was effectively creepy - giving off the vibes of the old man from Poltergeist effectively. An enjoyable story!" Read more of this review »
