Written as a preteen comedy, the book has a strong moral undercurrent about the pursuit of happiness and perfection, the pressures of growing up and the power of friendship.

One of Klein's most popular preteen novels, it has since become a standard English text for school students across Australia. The book was nominated for 8 Australian literature awards and won the Young Australian Best Book Award (YABBA) in 1986 and the Kids Own Australian Literature Award (KOALA) in 1987.
