Cornelia Funke is one of my favourite international children's authors ever!
A satisfying and appealingly spooky tale
Exceptional
Funke is a born storyteller
A gripping, ghostly read.
There's something curiously old-fashioned about this adventure, despite its contemporary setting, but its all of the more appealing because of it... There's betrayal and revenge, friendship and forgiveness and it all romps along at a cracking pace.
A thrilling adventure
A wonderful adventure riddled with ghosts, secrets, friendships and bravery
