A review by cwritesu
The Dagger in the Desk by Jonathan Stroud

adventurous funny mysterious
  • Cute short story that gives you a 'good feel' for the overall series, in case you are on the fence about reading all 5 books.
  • The characters and rules of the universe are well-outlined for those new to the books overall.
  • Simple, straight-forward case of ghost haunting with Lockwood, George and Lucy. Not super scary, but solid.
  • Enjoyable, if you love the books and want just another little taste of the world to enjoy.
