“What makes this tale exceptional—after all, there are many good adventures out there—is the tongue-in-cheek parody of education that runs under the excellent adventure. While the evil Ming and her cohorts take over Eugene’s new school, we see an insidious but hysterically funny consolidation of certain strands in education.”
—Anne-Marie Ooman, author of American Map
