Wasn't too sure about this book, mainly bought for my children as a step up from HP. Wasn't disappointed, admittedly the northern twang swung me as I'm from up there but the story was gripping and heartfelt. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Great starter

I loved this book and I got really stuck in, my personal favourite part was the first battle between Tom and Mother Malkin. I recommend it to anyone who likes a spooky mystery.

Jamie Glover does an excellent job bringing the characters to life. The story is great for young and older folks, and it’s fun trying to recognise the places that are referenced for people who live in the UK. I listened to the audiobook in school where I first heard of the series. I’ve met the author and he’s lovely, and I’ve read everything he’s written. Thoroughly enjoyable, for all ages.

As good as the first time I heard it
