[Chloris and the Creeps is another] novel about the problems caused by divorce, with the added complication of parental suicide…. Chloris' growing neurosis … is well handled, but her sudden reversal seems hard to believe. The divorce and suicide are never sufficiently explained, and children may not understand that these are the reasons for Chloris' unhappiness. Jenny is not consistently portrayed, and the mother and stepfather are stock characters. A Room Made of Windows by Eleanor Cameron … and Lillian by Gunilla Norris … treat similar problems more realistically.
