Critical reception and audiobook
Several reviewers favoured this book to the previous novel in the series.[1][2] Publishers Weekly gave the novel a positive review, stating "[a]long with twists and surprises, Byng also works in themes about the pervasiveness of advertising and the influence of celebrity endorsements."[3] Kristi Olson from Kidsreads.com recommended the book especially for Lemony Snicket fans, stating there were many suspenseful twists throughout the story.[4] Mary Thomas from CM: An Electronic Reviewing Journal of Canadian Materials for Young People gave the book a four out of four rating, stating "Molly's world may be unreal, but her friendships and feelings are genuine and add an extra dimension to a book that could otherwise be dismissed as totally fantastic."[2]
An audiobook, read by Clare Higgins, was released in 2004. Lolly Gepson from Booklist stated her reading was magical, commenting that "[s]he is equally adept at sounding like upper-crust snobs and cockney orphans or Hollywood phonies."[5]
