'Punchy, superbly illustrated and packed full of ghostly fun. We're delighted to recommend this book to grandparents, parents and schools looking for a sweetly told story with a strong underlying message of how good it feels to have a pal. We think readers will fall in love with the little bogle, and the happy ending will bring a smile to many a young reader's face.' - The Wishing Shelf'This is a beautiful wee story all about friendship and featuring real life Scottish locations. As a bonus, there's also a tiny spider to spot on every page, getting up to all kinds of antics. It's all you could want for in a Scottish children's picture book. If you're looking for a Scottish themed gift for any children in your life, then we'd definitely recommend this book. Reading age is approximately 3-7, but myself and my 9 year old still really enjoyed it too.' - The Bear & the Fox, Family Lifestyle Blog
