Lockwood & Co: The Creeping Shadow

like the Famous Five fused with HP Lovecraft [...] cosy and terrifying

Suzi Feay, Financial Times

Stroud's nerve-shredding ghouls, laconic hilarity and intelligent character development make him a must for fiction aficionados with an iron nerve

Imogen Russell-Williams, Guardian

this spine-chilling adventure is the perfect ghostly read

Book Club, The Week Junior

Brilliant as ever

Spectator

If you’re in the market to have your pants scared off this Halloween, this atmospheric tale, finely balanced between horror and humour, will definitely do the trick . . . There are few writers whose work I look forward to more.

Imogen Russell Williams, Middle Grade Strikes Back

Publication of a new Lockwood and Co. adventure must qualify as one of the literary events of the year. Jonathan Stroud not only writes like a dream, he creates some of the most inventive, most exciting storylines around.

Andrea Reece, LoveReading

I enjoyed it so much, I hope there will be yet another book soon to follow in this fabulously told series.

Amazed Earthling, with Guardian Children's Books

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

An Awful Lot of Reading
