it engaged me immediately. The font is big and friendly, has cute illustrations and the action takes off from the first sentence. The main characters are both infuriatingly naughty, yet I loved them both! The book is set in modern Ireland, which the children will love and will give the teacher scope for cross-curricular learning … would engage third and fourth class pupils
an intriguing collision of magic and history
a mystery misadventure which is as comic as it is spooky - a task not easily achieved … an amusing and absorbing start to what promises to be an exciting supernatural series … will work as a great introduction for young readers into Ireland's history and heritage … endlessly engaging and entertaining … an impressive fusion of humour and fright
gripping, page-turning supernatural adventure. The lively and engaging writing style make this an excellent series for reluctant readers
easy to read, funny and gives good descriptions of the characters … 8/10 … very exciting
