Taylor's magical touch makes you believe the impossible. -- Catherine Doyle

This is a fantastic and legendary series bringing Eerie on Sea’s best legends to life and keeping the reader completely enthralled and engaged!

The series goes from strength to strength and I cannot wait for Mermedusa!

This fantastically realised setting and the charm of Herbie, Violet and the other characters that inhabit it always draw me in as a reader and always leave me wanting more. Festergrimm is no exception. The new location is granted to spook adults and children alike, the threat feels real, the villain is perfect (chilling, clever and steeped in arrogance) and the story moves at a brisk, exhilarating pace. This is a brilliant series of books for children aged 9 and above to read independently or to be read aloud. I can’t wait for the next one! - Always Stepping Into the Page

[...]A must-read for fans of the books so far and perfect for readers aged nine to ninety-nine, if you have not as yet read Malamander you need to rectify that situation immediately. -- Jacqui - NetGalley

Everything’s we’ve come to love and look forward to in the Eerie-on-Sea adventures is packed in the pages and will delight its fans young and old. It’s a fast paced adventure, full of some wonderful twists and turns and some great edge of the seat moments. -- Debbie - NetGalley
