From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5-- An answer to the ever-growing need for short, funny, chapter books, this should be a popular selection for transitional readers. Jackson and his best friend, Goat, are trying to outwit each other by providing clues for a treasure hunt game. The "treasures" are just what would appeal to eight- or nine-year-olds: a Superman comic, a Matchbox car with one wheel missing, a "fake" ice cube for fooling your friends, and of course, some goodies like M & Ms and chocolate popsicles. The boys' ingenuity in making up clues should suggest similar creative play to readers. Although the focus of the brief chapters is on the friendship between the two boys, children do learn a bit about their family lives. Barrett's spare, cartoonlike line drawings are in keeping with the light, undemanding style of the prose. Fans of Jenny Archer, the kids at Polk St. School, the Pee Wee Scouts, and the Small Potatoes will welcome Jackson and Goat, and are likely to request more stories about them. --Martha Rosen, Edgewood School, Scarsdale, NY
