I thought this was a great book! The characters were very likeable! This book is geared toward middle grade children but it is very enjoyable for adults as well! This was the first in the series. A fun and spooky read! Looking forward to reading more of this series! Thank you to NetGalley, Disney Book Group and Little, Brown Books for Children for the opportunity to read and review this book! |

I enjoyed this different spin on a ghost story. Being told in first person seemed to make me more of a part of the hunt for the source of the problem. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who figured out the ending before end. |
Jonathan Stroud does it again with fantastic characters and fascinating story. He brings to life the unknown in a way that makes it impossible to put down the novel. |

Forgot to review this book years ago, but it is so wonderful! I have since purchased it for my middle school collection, and it circulates consistently. Stroud simply writes books that kids want to read! |
Fantastic characters, a thrilling storyline, humor and, of course, magic, all combine in this delightful novel! Stroud's approach with Lucy, Anthony, and George as independents, yet still very much children, is a unique angle on the supernatural. A compelling and enchanting blend of thrills, chills, and excitement. Can't wait for the rest of the series! |
Lucy and Anthony are characters you will devour. It was spooky, thrilling, and full of mystery. Lucy enters the Lockwood & Co. agency to solve a ghostly problem and Anthony Lockwood is her guide. They both have to stay in a haunted house overnight to redeem themselves in the eyes of the agency. I loved this story. |
