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 *
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 *
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 *
