Readers’ Comments
“I liked how excited the boy was about getting his computer game. I feel like that when I get a new game but then it has a scary twist to it which is good too.” Girl reader, 7 – with a little help from her teacher
“I like lots of things about this book. I like the story and I loved how it looked like a comic with all the speech bubbles. It was easy to follow and I never got lost. Also, the pics looked really cool.” Girl reader, aged 8
“The children in my class really enjoyed this book. They liked how scared Tom looked on the front cover which made them want to read it. The book went down very well with boys as the layout has a comic-feel to it which boys enjoy. The author did an excellent job of offering young children an exciting, slightly creepy story, and not overwhelming them with too much text. This is the sort of book children will go back to and will be particularly good for children who find reading a chore.” Primary School Teacher, aged 44
“I thought this is funny and a little bit scary too. I like that mix a lot. The writer is really good and the story is so simple to follow. I like that there wasn't lots and lots of text to wade through.” Boy reader, aged 8 – with a little help from dad
To Sum It Up:
‘A very accessible story for young children filled with delightful illustrations and a cleverly crafted plot. A silver medal winner and highly recommended.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
