The book has some strong themes from friendship and fitting in to the importance of co-operation. These messages are made very explicit by Max and Luke's attempts to bring together the three floor tribes but, fortunately, the surreal storyline prevents this sounding in any way preachy. Max's disability is also well used in the plot, making his lip reading into a skill that's akin to a superpower rather than a negative necessity.
If you enjoyed this, I'd strongly recommend that you check out Ross Montgomery's other mad cap stories. The Bookbag loved both [[Perijee & Me by Ross Montgomery|Perijee & Me]], [[The Building Boy by Ross Montgomery and David Litchfield|The Building Boy]] and [[Alex, the Dog and the Unopenable Door by Ross Montgomery|Alex, the Dog and the Unopenable Door]].
