A motivating and entertaining read for emerging readers in junior school... complemented by a set of fantastic black and white drawings. * School Librarian * Great for newly confident readers. * The Guardian * Another visual feast full of fun... top notch ghost-busting! * WRD Magazine * It is only now that one of my sons has reached the right reading stage that I realise the sheer genius of Tim Healey and Chris Mould's Mortimer Keene series. I have never seen him devour a book with so many tricky words so fast as he did... zany comic writing and elegantly ghastly pictures that are the joy. * The Glasgow Herald * Humorous rhyming text is well matched with lively, amusing illustrations. * Peters Gazette *

Chris Mould went to art school at the age of sixteen. During this time, he did various jobs, from delivering papers to washing-up. He has won the Nottingham Children's Book Award and been commended for the Sheffield. He loves his work and likes to write and draw the kind of books that he would have liked to have on his shelf as a boy. He is married with two children and lives in Yorkshire. Chris Mould spends his working day in one of the prestigious art studios at Dean Clough Mills in Halifax. His studio is clearly marked with a skull and crossboned warning as to what might lie within. Chris is not confined to book illustration. He has worked for the RSC, the BBC, the FT and many other famous initials, aswell as film development work for Aardman Animations which included character and environment development work on the film Flushed Away. When away from his studio, Chris spends most of his time with his wife Sue and his two daughters Emily and Charlotte.
