Critics Review
JLG Gold Standard Selection
“This ghost story is a poignant exploration of loneliness, self-doubt, and emotional bravery that’s charming, cozy, and exceptionally moving. Primarily known for her illustration work, Krampien’s lively art is a clear highlight. Read alongside Lindsay Currie’s Scritch Scratch (2020) and Ally Malinenko’s Broken Dolls (2025) at your next spooky sleepover.” – Booklist Reviews
“With escalating stakes, tantalizing secrets, and plenty of haunted happenings, this is a heartfelt story for readers who like enough shivers to keep reading under the covers with a flashlight, but not so many that they can’t sleep afterwards. Black-and-white artwork adds dimension and context… For readers who like both horror and heart, this novel is worth staying up to midnight to finish… a lovely introduction to the joys of Gothic literature for middle grade readers.” – School Library Journal
“Krampien blends emotional realism with a persistent sense of unease, building suspense without relying on overt horror… Black-and-white illustrations peppered throughout the text reinforce the creepy tone while offering brief visual pauses that temper the suspense… Strong characterizations and vivid descriptive passages sustain a quiet sense of dread. An atmospheric ghost story exploring friendship, courage, and hidden truths.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Krampien steadily ramps up the suspense, cultivating a palpable aura of dread as supernatural incidents—depicted in atmospheric, animated grayscale illustrations—escalate from inconvenient to downright dangerous. Threads of optimism, reinforced by Mac and Flora’s easy camaraderie, provide a resting spot throughout this tense adventure.” – Publishers Weekly
