“When it comes to middle-grade fiction, where recycled plots and predictable narratives abound, a truly original premise is rare. Still, with aliens, pirates, and even the president of the United States in the mix, Trevelean successfully sticks the landing. SiP is well-paced and brimming with originality. Add to that a decisive ending that hints at future installments, and you have all the makings of a must-read YA series.”

“SiP is... highly engaging and delightful. Creative storytelling enhances every page with a beautiful fable and even a few life lessons and morals. I can’t imagine organizing or imagining this book, but the author was utterly masterful in this creative tale.”

“Author Marius Trevelean has crafted an exhilarating adventure filled with humor, mystery, and imaginative twists that are certain to capture its young readership right from the start. SiP is a delightful romp through a world turned upside down, perfect for adventurous readers craving a unique and entertaining tale. ”
