"A wonderfully spooky, deeply satisfying read. The eerie atmosphere of the saltmarsh is captured so perfectly … and I loved Jodie's emotional journey too." – Lucy Strange
"I love a good ghost story & Jodie is a beauty. Salt marshes, incoming tide, a loner, & a dog who barks mournfully in the distance. Eerie, glittering, atmospheric perfection from Hilary McKay." – Eloise Williams
"A pared-down, compelling, deftly characterised ghost story for 10+" – The Guardian
“With no horror or jump-scares, this is a ghost story that creeps up on you slowly and says a lot about humanity and kindness. Both uplifting and thought-provoking, Jodie’s experiences reframe her differences as the things that make her special and interesting as she realises that others have their challenges too." – BookTrust, Book of the Day
