Trade Review
If you enjoy being scared out of your wits, then this is the book for you * Independent *
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 * The School Librarian *
