The stories were written for intelligent middle school children, who have a sense of sophisticated humor and who like adventure. There are elements of surprise and adventure with much scientific materials, some of which is true and some not true. The reader should be motivated to find out for themselves. For example, (1) there was certainly a massive eruption in Krakatoa (the survival of the Viven beetle is entirely fictitious) and (2) there is a Yucca plant pollinated by a moth.

The dialogues between Golyga and Lilly, collaborators across the veil, are as entertaining and revealing as the stories of the book’s characters. Golyga, his beloved, Lillykins, her brother, and the family baby - shape-shifters all - encounter adventures conjured by Golyga’s ever fertile imagination and each new character we meet - from the ash-breathing dragon to the ambitious frog, from the old woman who sang to the arrogant lark who laughed at her, and many more, - each one delivers life-lessons by way of amusing and memorable tales of adventure, of misadventure, of parables and yes, occasionally, by way of the plain spoken imparting of wisdom.
