“Dirk Bones and the other ghastly inhabitants of Ghostly are fresh and attractive characters who will appeal to youngsters who enjoy slightly ‘spooky’ books. Little touches, like the spiders reading in the library and the gleaming eyes along the shelves, will not go unappreciated. The book’s design has the comfort of beginning readers in mind, and the simple sentences and dialogue are clear and well supported. This is an all-around fun read.”
— School Library Journal
