• Keep per WP:NBOOK this has been the subject of school instruction at at least two institutions [1]. Plenty of coverage in regards to the educational sector [2]. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 01:55, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, meets WP:NBOOK, reviewed by Kirkus Reviews (yes i am one of the few, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flatlander: Book One) - "The who's-on-the-computer? gambit, and the true-to-character humor holds up well enough to keep readers going--even if the thwarted space-comedian bombs out.", tiny one from Publishers Weekly (it might be a summary, pw sometimes does this online) - """saucily told, sparely written"" stories.", won an Arkansas state children's award and reviewed by Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Byars bio, and reviewed by School Library Journal, plus as a sidepoint, WorldCat shows it is held by over 900 libraries.

• I wouldn't count Publishers Weekly and Kirkus blurbs towards notability, especially towards NBOOK—they review titles in little depth and with little discrimination, compared for instance with even that School Lib J review.  czar 19:23, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Per Coolabahapple. I added a review from The Times Literary Supplement to the article as well. Fearstreetsaga (talk) 20:37, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
