Garfield at his absolute best
—— ObserverA great read
—— The School LibrarianA great story to read aloud or for new readers to tackle on their own
—— Northern Echo[The book] succeeds because it does not condescend to reluctant readers
—— Sunday IndependentThe narrative is linear and pacy
—— InisOne of those books you take with you to the bath . . . Packed with bloodcurdling spectral incident.
—— Evening StandardI have a particular terror of anything involving unfriendly ghosts and usually steer clear, but this one was just too tempting. Scare me it did, but the thrills were perfectly balanced by the intriguing plot twists and the humorous banter of the three main protagonists. It’s a little bit Sherlock Holmes, a little bit Skulduggery Pleasant, with a terrifying haunted house thrown in for good measure. You definitely won’t be disappointed
—— Waterstones.comThis was absolutely excellent. I loved the story, the amount of suspense and creepiness was exactly right to keep me reading page after page very quickly.
—— Guardian onlineStroud is one of the smartest and most talented writers around . . . Be prepared for lots of humour and some very creepy moments. You're going to be hooked.
—— Children's Books IrelandIt's a ripper! . . . With plentiful wit and good humour, more than a few chilling moments and, above all, refreshing creativity, Jonathan Stroud has constructed an energetic, fast paced narrative that trips nimbly back and forth from the present to the past as he first sketches and then deftly paints this fascinating landscape.
—— Science Fiction WorldIt's brilliant - that's all you need to know really so go and buy it now
—— Bookzone4boysIt’s almost impossible to put down and all I have left to say is that I want more.
