This science fictional mystery was meant to be the beginning of a series. First publication was in a short-lived Random House book club edition illustrated by Deeter, then simultaneous hard/soft from Knopf with illustrator Obrist. I know that's confusing. At least it confused me!

“A nicely realized world of the future… moves rapidly and the peripheral details and characters should catch the imagination of most children.”--The Sunday Oregonian

“A satisfying read.”--Children’s Book Review Service
