Sarah Ellis in the Horn Book Review, and there is a line that I cannot for the life or me tell whether it actually would make a good blurb, though it seems as though it was crafted to be such.

"Nobody does this kind of witty confection better than Pinkwater, the original point-and-click mind."

In this sequel to The Neddiad, Yggdrasil Birnbaum notices that the ghosts that inhabit her apartment building are disappearing. Iggy and her friends Neddie and Seamus head off on a quest to other planes of existence to find the missing phantoms. To approximate the experience of this wacky, allusive, hilarious, indefatigable adventure in sixty-nine chapters you would have to shred Joseph Campbell, a select library of children's literature, a compendium of classic standup routines, and a guide to American pop culture of the 1940s, and then make a mosaic of the resulting confetti. For example, one tiny strand of this narrative involves a guy named Fats who is court pianist to the king of the ravens. He plays a song about feet that are too big, which our heroes interpret as a warning that their feat is too big, until they are faced with a quivering bog and remember the song and think to construct snowshoes. Far from being a throwaway reference, Fats Waller turns out to be an essential part of the plot. Nobody does this kind of witty confection better than Pinkwater, the original point-and-click mind.
