Critics Review

“Delightfully eerie, The Clackity is full of chills aplenty and so much heart. I fell in love with Blight Harbor and Evie, even as they gave me goosebumps!” —Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows on The Clackity“A wonderfully surreal and sinister journey, perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline.” —Kurt Kirchmeier, author of The Absence of Sparrows on The Clackity“Senf’s worldbuilding is fantastical and compelling, the scares hair-raising. Evie is a capable, vulnerable, brave, and anxious hero; she’s real. She hangs tough, with a magic sparrow companion serving as a sidekick, savior, and coach. While Senf opens the book with a lot of exposition, the story really settles in as Evie begins her quest, and the skilled storytelling will keep readers spellbound and spooked. Cáceres’ eerie black-and-white illustrations enhance the mood and atmosphere… . Full of thrills and scares.” – Kirkus Reviews on The Clackity“Adeptly invoking folkloric elements while creating something darkly original, Senf intimately renders Evie’s trials as both internal and external in an atmospheric adventure that will appeal to readers of Neil Gaiman and middle grade horror.” – Publishers Weekly on The Clackity*“Nuanced character development is a strength across both first two books of the trilogy. Readers will undoubtedly eagerly await the final volume, even if it will mean saying goodbye to a fascinating and memorable world, and a brilliant protagonist in the heroic Evie, who is so much more than she initially dreams she can be.” – BCCB, Starred Review on The Nighthouse Keeper“Senf’s nightmarish, well-imagined supernatural landscape is original and compelling… . More than just a battle between good and supernatural evil, this story shows the ultimate power of empathy and tenacity. Readers will be left both satisfied by the ending and wanting more… . Deliciously dark and gripping.” – Kirkus Reviews on The Nighthouse Keeper“Senf’s storytelling is riveting and wildly imaginative, and her story is populated with unique, otherworldly creatures and characters. Evie’s death-defying crusade makes for a satisfying, compelling closing to the series. A fitting finale for a top-notch series.” – Kirkus Reviews on The Loneliest Place

Lora Senf

Lora Senf is a writer of dark and twisty stories for all ages. She is the author of The Clackity, Bram Stoker Award winner The Nighthouse Keeper, The Loneliest Place, and Pennies. She credits her love of words to her parents and to the public library that was walking distance from her childhood home.

She lives in eastern Washington with her husband, their twins, and two remarkably lazy cats.
