My grandson enjoyed reading this book but he said it was not as scary as he expected from reading previous reviews. That is why we have given it 4 stars.

I bought this for my grandson and was disappointed at its lack of structure and poor grammar. It is has obviously been privately published and I can understand why.
I will certainly not be purchasing any other books written by this “author”.
by Nat
Decent amount of pages but not too much, perfect for younger audience and big writing which is a plus.

I came across this book when looking for something to read with my daughter who is almost 9. She doesn’t scare easily so I thought it would be a good first ‘scary story’ for her. At times she found the dialogue a little ‘mature’ so I would say it is perfect for 9–15 year olds as suggested.
I found the story itself to be very gripping and engaging: the characters are well-crafted and believable and the story kept both of us engaged. I think it’s possibly a little formally written in places for under 11s but this wasn’t a problem.
The author was excellent at creating suspense and keeping us on the edge of our toes waiting to see what would happen next! I look forward to reading more from CJ Loughty in the future.
