Lockwood & Co: The Hollow Boy

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 *Brilliant as ever. * Spectator *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 *

Jonathan Stroud was born in Bedford in 1970. After studying English Literature at York University, he moved to London, where he worked as an editor at a publishing firm. He is the author of the best-selling Bartimaeus series; the much-beloved Lockwood & Co. series (now a major Netflix series) as well as The Notorious Scarlett & Browne; Heroes of the Valley; The Last Seige; The Leap and Buried Fire. He lives in Hertfordshire with his family. He has yet to see a ghost, but is keeping his eyes open.
