You are a joyful storyteller. This is so engaging. Charlie is endearing and I am curious to see what becomes of him. I think when writing for children, it's so much about the characters. Charlie possesses many identifiable qualities: curious, clever, friendly, trusting, honest. I would definitely recommend this to all my young friends.

This is an extremely imaginative story. Children will love to follow Charlie as he fights on behalf of the ghosts. You have a lot of characters for a children's book but they're all unique so that really isn't a problem. It's a good read. Burgio (Grain of Salt).

What a great luchtime read! I went to school in an old manor house, it was not like this! This is a book I would happily read a version of to the grandkids, savouring the jokes as I went along. I can see the illustrations now! Good luck with this, cut me in on the merchandise deal! Jim Darcy The Firelord's Crown

Edward, from chapter 1 when you list the cast of characters er--and -- um--characters, i was hooked. This is so damned funny. Some of the one liners may be a little beyond children..".if a robot bites you, you get what? Metal fatigue?"
Classic funny throw away lines that adults {Well at least this adult} Love. Funny-- fast paced and crammed to the brim with lovable and no so lovable apparitions who all take themselves terribly seriously...and soooo well mannered.

This is a delight, and I am happy to give it my support.
Backed with pleasure...the cover is a hoot { the headless horse of the headless horseman no doubt}
