Reviews"There is just the right amount of suspense to make the book creepy, but not enough to make it truly scary for younger readers. The characters are believable and likable, and Jarvis has easily straddled the line between (mild) horror and fantasy. Give this to lovers of R. L. Stine for an equally satisfying but more challenging read." - School Library Journal, "Equal parts mystery and fantasy, this novel will be best appreciated by readers able to tolerate a little gore."
