Reviews

School Library Journal

“[W]ill be intriguing to middle and high school readers interested in suspense and the paranormal.”—School Library Journal

Kirkus Reviews

“The author crafts a solid-enough little ghost story, leaning on propulsive action and simple characterization . . . to build up to the big scares. The enterprise reads like a Goosebumps book for teenagers. . . . A superfast, sturdy-enough creep show.”—Kirkus Reviews
