‘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
