“Accessible to developing readers, with enough spooky, squirm-worthy content to satisfy the more voracious.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Low-stakes scares peppered with references to classic horror movies combine with endearing character interactions, while ornate b&w chapter-opener artwork enhances the eerie atmosphere. In a fast-paced tale that seems poised to harbor more thrills and chills than one tween protagonist can handle, sincere overtures of friendship save the day.”— Publishers Weekly
“There is a lot of running about town, investigating things, weird figures skulking in the dark, and homemade detecting devices fashioned by Riley. Equal parts mystery and paranormal fantasy adventure, this is the first book in a new series… This is a good choice for readers who liked mysteries like Dye’s Grady Jones and the Great Detective Game or Shephard’s Gemini Mysteries.”—Miss Yingling Reads (Edelweiss)
