"If medicine is scary to your children, this book is the key to unlock its mysteries. As a physician, I found this to be a wonderful piece of work. The author was able to take a scary subject and turn it into a funny and informative read for children of all ages."

"What a "novel" novel. The target audience may be preteens; however, this book reaches out to so many more. Not all of us are a part of the health care system. We do, however, partake of it. In this story, one can see the system through the eyes of a child. It's a pretty scary place. How many of us, when in the hospital, haven't asked the questions Billy and Squeak have? I've read it and gained so much insight into what 'kids' and adults feel and think about the hospital. What a wonderful book. I'm a better 'Doc' for having read it. Thank you, Scottie."
