Review
Mauser's "boy vs. bully" theme is familiar but enhanced by the Eastern philosophies that offer interesting perspectives -- Booklist, 1982
Pat Mauser has concocted a credible story around kajukenbo as Ben progresses. Readers will be pulling for Ben -- School Library Journal, 1982
the emphasis is placed on Ben's newly acquired inner strength rather than his ability to defeat Boyd. -- The Horn Book Magazine, 1982
