Recensione:
"Fans of the Dunderheads books will recognize a similarly dark brand of comedy in Roberts’s b&w art, whose delicate ink lines and lightly macabre subject matter make it feel like a humorous cousin to the work of Edward Gorey."—Publishers Weekly
“Playful dialogue, gentle suspense, childlike characters, appealing black-and-white spot and full-page illustrations as well as an array of comic misunderstandings and themes of loyalty and friendship blend together nicely here in a chapter book that young readers will doubtlessly enjoy. . . . Kids will be happy to spend time in this particular haunted house.” —Kirkus Reviews
"Exciting, charming, and ridiculous." —The Guardian
"Incredibly funny and imaginative." —Sunday Express
"Joyously inventive...sweetly bizarre." —Literary Review
