Lockwood & Co. The Screaming Staircase
Author: Jonathan Stroud
Genre: Mystery, Horror
What it's about: This book takes place in an England where ghosts have become a major threat to humans. Lockwood and Co. is an agency run by three kids who are extremely talented in locating and eliminating ghosts. But they take on a very difficult and scary case involving one very creepy house.
What do you think about it? I just couldn't put this book down! It was filled with suspense - you never knew what was coming next! I also really liked the characters and how they had to work together to solve the case.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Who would like this book? 5th graders who like ghost stories and scary books would really enjoy this book. I would not recommend it for anyone who is easily scared by ghost stories.
