"Packing so much in, this compassionate, dyslexia-friendly novella is an atmospheric, suspenseful adventure." - The Sunday Times "Superbly chilling, brilliantly satisfying. A masterpiece of a modern-day ghost story." - Emma Carroll "A hugely satisfying story about real loneliness, real friendship and a real ghost . Beautifully unpredictable." - Lissa Evans "A wonderfully spooky, deeply satisfying read. The eerie atmosphere of the saltmarsh is captured so perfectly . and I loved Jodie's emotional journey too.

" - Lucy Strange "I love a good ghost story & Jodie is a beauty. Salt marshes, incoming tide, a loner, & a dog who barks mournfully in the distance. Eerie, glittering, atmospheric perfection from Hilary McKay." - Eloise Williams "A pared-down, compelling, deftly characterised ghost story for 10+" - The Guardian "With no horror or jump-scares, this is a ghost story that creeps up on you slowly and says a lot about humanity and kindness. Both uplifting and thought-provoking, Jodie's experiences reframe her differences as the things that make her special and interesting as she realises that others have their challenges too." - BookTrust, Book of the Day.
