An unputdownable read with a very clever mix of suspense and humour. * Primary Times *
'Bad Magic' is a brilliant book. * Lucy Minton, age 11, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
'Bad Magic' is a very gripping book and if you liked his 'Secret Series' you would like this too. It is filled with jokes and odd language I would recommend it to anyone who likes the 'Harry Potter' Series. * Fiona Sutherland, age 11, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
An adventurous page-turner of a book... I would mark this book a definite 10 because I couldn't put it down once I started it. It was chilling one moment and exciting the next. * Charlotte Cassidy, age 9, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
The perfidious and puzzling Pseudonymous Bosch is on top form in this stupendously surreal and marvellously mysterious adventure. Throw in a ghost girl, spontaneous combustion, a nod at J.M.Barrie's Peter Pan and the great William Shakespeare, plus some devilishly good plotting, and you have the funniest and craziest reading experience this side of Neverland. * Lancashire Evening Post *
