An ALA Notable Book Kids ages 9-12 will "delight in [the] oddness" of this Home Alone -style tale set in the 1970s--from a prolific children's author who captures "a magic that's not like anyone else's " (Neil Gaiman). With Victor's parents out of town, he is free to investigate the mysterious lizard musicians who have recently appeared on TV . . . Things Victor loves: pizza with anchovies, grape soda, B movies aired at midnight, the evening news. And with his parents off at a resort and his older sister shirking her babysitting duties, Victor has plenty of time to indulge himself and to try a few things he's been curious about. Exploring the nearby city of Hogboro, he runs into a curious character known as the Chicken Man (a reference to his companion, an intelligent hen named Claudia who lives under his hat). The Chicken Man speaks brilliant nonsense, but he seems to be hip to the lizard musicians (real lizards, not men in lizard suits) who've begun appearing on Victor's television after the broadcast of the late-late movie. Are the lizards from outer space? From "other space"? Together Victor and the Chicken Man, guided by the able Claudia, journey to the lizards' floating island, a strange and fantastic place that operates with an inspired logic of its own.

I read this book as a young girl of maybe about 8 or so. I thought the cover looked interesting in the library and it came with a casette that covered part of the book and then you could read the rest if you got interested in it. The cover design was a previous one with a young boy looking at an old man who had a chicken under his hat. I am so fortunate that the wonderful illustration got my attention. Because this book changed my life. I remember feeling so connected with the main character. The plot was so imaginative and fun, it was both unique and like something I would have dreamed up. To this day, I LOVE this book. And, I plan on reading it to my little ones. I hope that they like it as much as I have. I can't say enough good things about this one. I have since read many Pinkwater books and I love them all. But, this will always be my favorite because it changed the way I thought about reading and writing forever.
