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

5.0

This series is so spooky and good that I really wish that Stroud would power write us up a whole book of these little case studies. I would also like to point out that in his Bartimaeus books he also uses the Anarchist and the Oyster and an unknown harrowing adventure that our heroes go through.

Lockwood, Lucy, and George have a job to do. Something is haunting an elite boarding school something cruel and malicious. Lucy is still playing with the dangers of her ability and she keeps getting more and more reckless. What is in the school? Why is it there? Do these questions matter if you can just get rid of the issue?

What I'm hoping this short story means is that Stroud will give us more novellas, and short stories set in this world. I would love to have more!! For those who have read the other Lockwood books and can't wait for the fourth to come out!!
