- Jack Black and the Ship of Thieves (1997) – Publishers Weekly said of this book: "With a swashbuckling style and an imagination in overdrive, Hughes ... grabs readers on page one and never lets go." and "Entertaining from start to finish."[2] On the other hand, Kirkus Reviews observed that "there's little of the imaginative flair that characterizes the novels this models: the science fantasies of Jules Verne and Philip Pullman."[3] The Kirkus reviewer of Toots Underground remarked positively on Jack Black one year later, quoted below.
