'Absolutely brilliant' BookTrust

‘Children will love the concept of being able to spot what the young girl can’t and Jeffers’ dryly funny visual jokes on the elusiveness of spirits finish with a cliffhanger … Another absolute winner from this inventive author’ Daily Mail

‘A delightful interactive story for Halloween, long on spectres but short on scares … Hauntingly adorable’ Guardian

‘The bestselling author pushes the boundaries of the picture book form … The giggling ghouls unseen by the girl may have little readers shouting “he’s behind you!” but there’s nothing panto-esque about this smart and inventive book’ Guardian
