Vastly entertaining

A splendid, spooky story with good characterisation, a believable setting, humour and the ability to make the unreal seem real. I recommend it to children of ten to thirteen without reservation

Wonderfully dark

Expect to be in for a big surprise! The series is left beautifully poised as the tale concludes and the seventh instalment will be as eagerly awaited as ever

Sensational

Brilliant...the quality of imagination at play here is something special

Joseph Delaney's The Wardstone Chronicles are a series of books that have maintained the very highest standard for nearly a decade. The Spook's Nightmare is another excellent addition to the series. Highly recommended.
