Critics Review

You want to be caught up in the thrall of delicious deviance and page-turning scandal, go on, get stuck in.– Sarah McIntyre

Fans of Roald Dahl, Chris Priestly and Lemony Snicket will savour every gruesome drop of this stylish, grisly and original comedy. - The Times

An idiosyncratic comic fantasy… it is likely that children will be most enthusiastic. - Books For Keeps

Bloodthirsty and mysterious with a sharp spike in its tail, Osbert’s story is a deliciously dark invitation to the strange world of Schwartzgarten, a city corrupt with shadows and secrets - and in need of a hero. - We Love this Book

Looks set to be a hugely successful new series. Marvelously detailed. There are three more bloodthirsty and hilarious adventures to come. - School Librarian

A macabre tale full of ghoulish and gruesome escapades. A frightening but appealing anti-hero. - Booktrust

A riveting story - a clever mix of humour with some very dark and gruesome moments and a couple of real shocks towards the end. - Primary Times

If you love your teachers and have never entertained the thought of murdering them in the most diabolically appropriate way, then this book should probably be avoided at all costs. - Lion & Unicorn Books

Rules are broken in a carnival manner that is deliciously and genuinely thrilling - Books for Keeps
