Robert Swindells leaves nothing to chance in this most entertaining ghost story. They didn't have books for children like this when I was a nipper!

An exciting tale for the over 10s

Gripping, spooky tale that is full of suspense

A shivery ghost story

I love this series so much, the characters are funny . . . the ghosts are awesome.

Compelling, chill-at-the-nape tale with dynamics and emotional depth . . . The novel’s eerie vibe and eek-worthy plot may keep readers turning pages into the wee hours, but it’s the vivid characters and skillfully developed themes of identity, friendship and loss that linger long in the mind.

[An] eerie, tender novel.

Black poignantly and realistically captures how adolescence inherently brings change; how growing up affects the ways children play; and the inevitable tests friendships face.

It's as psychologically haunting as the ghost girl's physical haunting . . . Black begins with an ordinary experience of childhood and gives it a wicked twist to reveal the truth at the center of the impulse for storytelling.

A darn good adventure.

This novel is a chilling ghost story, a gripping adventure, and a heartwarming look at the often-painful pull of adulthood.
