"The genius of this book is that it can be enjoyed as an eerie, gripping ghost story with an incredible twist by readers at the upper end of Key Stage 2, but can also be studied well in to Key Stage 3 as a masterpiece in the gothic genre with opportunities to discuss the psychology of ghost stories ... A thought-provoking, powerful and haunting ghost story that will linger long after it has played its last trick ... just incredible!" -- Book Craic, blog
