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
All the books in the series have been excellent, but in The Creeping Shadow, Stroud manages to pile mystery on top of suspense, leaving me with the feeling that a year is far, far, too long to wait for the concluding part of a series that instantly shot to the very top of my reading pile. This is young adult writing of the very highest quality.
Linda Wilson, Crime Review
