Lockwood & Co, The Whispering Skull. By Jonathan Stroud
Lucy, George, & Lockwood are at it again. Chasing things
that go bump in the night because adults are too old to see the mysteries that
cause the bumps. The world that is built astounds and terrifies. The Whispering
Skull is book two in this series and just as enjoyable as the first.
The detective agency ‘Lockwood and Company’ is one run by
children with no adult supervision. These detectives, however, are hunting the
paranormal and uncovering crimes committed and buried away.
Once you pick it up, the novel is hard to put down—unless
you’re looking over your shoulder to make sure there isn’t a Lurker watching you.
The Whispering Skull has you guessing every time Lucy hears its whispers. With
George and Lockwood, as well as some exciting new characters, Lucy finds a way
to hone her skills. These characters will keep you reading deep into the night,
with a small light on, of course.
I always mention grammar in my reviews; however, there is no
need because Mr. Stroud is a wizard with words.
