The reader is unsure if Dirk is deluded or not until very near the end of the book, and once that question is resolved the plot has an intriguing twist. Enough of the story is completed in this volume to leave the reader feeling satisfied, and there is the pleasure of knowing a second book in the series is due out in spring. It is a funny, utterly silly and enjoyable book, which lots of young readers will love.
Further reading suggestion: Another thirteen-year-old boy who feels he is in the wrong place will be found in [[The Space Crime Conspiracy by Gareth P Jones]], which also contains lots of laughs and wonderfully silly humour.
