Críticas:

"No author has ever captured the great fun of being weird, growing up as a happy mutant, unfettered by convention, as well as Pinkwater has. When I was a kid, Pinkwater novels like"Lizard Music."..made me intensely proud to be a little off-center and weird they taught me to woo the muse of the odd and made me the happy adult I am today. The NYRB edition of"Lizard Music"is a beautiful... hardcover, a testament to Pinkwater's influence on generations of readers. It's one of those books that, in the right hands at the right time, can change your life for the better and forever." Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing
"Lizard Music "is. . . funny, properly paranoid, shot through with bad puns and sweet absurdities, and all about a baffled kid intent on tracking reality (as slippery as lizards) in a media-spooked milieu. "Kirkus Reviews "(starred review)
Wildly imaginative. . . . This is a natural high. "Booklist "(starred review)
A writer for smart kids. . . . Pinkwater writes for, and about, people who are not ashamed to look at life a little differently. Kathy Ceceri, Wired.com
I do believe that Daniel Pinkwater is my favorite writer, living or dead. Cory Doctorow
Pinkwater is the uniquest. And so are his books. Each uniquer than the last . . . A delight in oddness. A magic that's not like anyone else's. Neil Gaiman"

Reseña del editor:

When Victor's parents go away for two weeks, leaving his older sister in charge, he is glad when she takes off on a vacation of her own. Home alone, Victor can do anything he wants. He stays up late, eats his pizza with anchovies, visits the zoo, and enjoys his favourite TV news programme without interruption. It is while staying up late watching television that he discovers evidence of a secret community of intelligent lizards. In fact there seems to have been an invasion from outer space that went almost unnoticed! In the course of some detective work, he meets the Chicken Man, an eccentric with a hen in his hat who knows about these things. Together they visit the lizards in Thunderbolt City.
In a compelling and often endearing account, Victor tells us the fantastic experiences of those two weeks, giving us a startling glimpse at our own lives as well.
