Harry Potter fan or no, this is a fun listen. The narrator, Rupert Degas, does an excellent job with the characters. The music is perfect in its enjoyable creepiness with a touch of jazz. Humorous, adventurous, a load of fun. I suspect there will be sequels and I can't wait. How will the author sustain the wit and adventure? I'll leave Derek Landy to worry about that I'll just look forward to the next installment.

Both the kids and adults will enjoy this - not too scary, not too creepy, and a good dose of humor. Degas' narration is superb. While the music/sound effects did, at times, become repetitive to my adult ears, the kids loved it.
