"A successful blend of mystery, ghostbusting and sleuthing ... full of humorous touches ... Jinks's story-within-a-story device works well; her characterisation of family and school life is realistic and the tale itself is spooky without being gratuitously frightening." -- Thuy On, Children's Bookseller & Publisher, October 2002."Eglantineworks well on many levels; it is spooky, it is intelligent and it has an involving story-line. The jacket and layout is enticing. Recommended." -- Rayma Turton, Magpies, November 2002a first-class ghost story' Reading Time
