Lockwood & Co: The Whispering Skull - Hardcover

Jonathan Stroud was born in Bedford in 1970. After studying English Literature at York University, he moved to London, where he worked as an editor in a publishing firm. He is the author of the best-selling BARTIMAEUS sequence, which is published in 35 languages and has sold 6 million copies worldwide. As well as four other novels: HEROES OF THE VALLEY, THE LAST SIEGE, THE LEAP and BURIED FIRE, Jonathan is now writing a chilling new series called LOCKWOOD & CO. He lives in Hertfordshire with his family.

"The second volume in Jonathan Stroud's exceptional series ... Stroud's writing is inventive and funny, but be warned: this is packed with grisly ghouls and is not perhaps for the faint-hearted." -- Lorna Bradbury Sunday Telegraph "Seriously scary, brilliant prose." Metro "Plenty of humour alongside the chills." Financial Times "I've waited with baited breath for the second instalment of Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood & Co novels. At last, The Whispering Skull is here and it is definitely worth the wait." Scotsman Teen review "Stroud delivers another riveting narrative" Booklist
