Ghouls and spectres beware! London's smallest (but best) psychic detection agency, Lockwood & Co., is back with a fourth deliciously terrifying tale—now a major new Netflix series!
Now a major Netflix series!
Lucy has left Lockwood & Co. A freelance operative, she is hiring herself out to other agencies—agencies that might value her ever-improving skills.
But now Lockwood needs her help.
Penelope Fittes, leader of the well-renowned Fittes Agency, wants Lockwood & Co.—and only them—to locate and remove the 'Source' for the legendary Brixton Cannibal.
It's a tough assignment, made worse by the tensions between Lucy and the other agents—even the skull is treating her like a jilted lover!
What will it take to reunite the team? Black marketeers, an informant ghost, a Spirit Cape that transports the wearer, and mysteries involving their closest rivals may just do the trick.
But not all is as it seems. And it's not long before a shocking revelation rocks Lockwood & Co. to its very core...
'Stroud is a genius' - Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Creeping Shadow by Jonathan Stroud combines the thrill of a Famous Five adventure with the eerie essence of HP Lovecraft, according to reviews. Its compelling blend of spine-chilling ghosts and laconic humour garners praise from critics, making it an engaging read for those who appreciate gripping stories and character development. Described as brilliant and a high-quality young adult novel, it's a nerve-tingling addition to an already excellent series.
