Reception[edit]
Emily Bearn wrote in The Daily Telegraph, "it is a simple and touching story of children overcoming adversity with make-believe".[1] Common Sense Media's Mary Eisenhart said, "British author David Walliams is in top form with this imaginative, poignant, often crude, and frequently hilarious tale of kids stuck in a London hospital. ... it's a heartstring-tugging, thought-provoking tale with unforgettable characters, relatable issues, and a determination to do better than the bad people in your life."[2]
In a positive review for the School Library Journal, Caitlin Augusta stated, "Ross's numerous black-and-white illustrations mirror Walliams's lawless, uncontained revelry. ... Irreverent as Roald Dahl, Walliams is a unique author who's created a memorable world and cast of characters."[3] In a mixed review, Kirkus Reviews said, "An entertaining tale that will definitely find an audience, but fans of icky, vicious comedy deserve better."[4]
