"Like Harry Potter with extra bite, Scream Street is fast moving and scary - but it has a big heart (which it keeps in a gold casket in the fridge, of course!)." Philip Reeve "Lightning-paced, bloodcurdling fun. I wish I'd been able to visit Scream Street as a kid!" Darren Shan "Genuinely funny and genuinely sp-sp-spooky, Tommy Donbavand's Scream Street puts humorous horror firmly on the map!" Philip Ardagh
