The art of storytelling pervades this textures tapestry of tales with a twist -- The Bookseller
A great primer of ghost stories for older children and younger teens. -- The Bookbag
Brilliantly written and illustrated with cool and colourful drawings. -- CBBC Newsround
Entertaining and commendably presented anthology of short tales of seafaring, treasure hunting, and their consequences. -- Bookbag
Every few years, a book comes along which is an absolute stand-out in its genre and this just such a one. A wonderfully varied collection of self penned and traditional sea stories. Beautifully written, beautifully illustrated and beautifully produced, this is a book to read and escape to other worlds, with illustrations to pore over and to treasure. A wonderful book - don't miss it. -- School Librarian
