Review Summaries
"In this story there are three main characters. Their names are Victor,Chicken Man, and the lizards, which would be the aliens or invaders. There is much detail in this story but the main actions are what count. Main actions like when Victor was home with his older sister and was watching tv late at night. Then when he discovers evidance of a secrert community of intelligent lizards. There was also an main action or much more of a thriller when he meets an eccentric with a hen in his hat who knows about everything, and they together go to the lizards territorry so to speak,in Thunderbolt City."
Devin L. Harris, Resident D. Manus Pinkwater Scholar
