Trivia
- This book is the first appearance of Alan Powers, who is often referred to as "The Brain".
- The Crosswire family portrait that includes Muffy, as well as her parents Ed and Millicent, and brother Chip can be seen on one of the pages, but Muffy's parents and brother did not make an actual appearance.
