'It's lots of fun and young readers who enjoy a mystery story filled with ghosts and lots of laughs need look no further. The story whizzes along and is guaranteed to be a page-turner.'

'This is a brilliant book -- fast-moving and funny, despite the very villainous villians. The relationship between Jay and his grandad is wonderfully written. A very, very enjoyable book.'
