Karen Dolby's amazing talent of writing interactive adventures is clearly on show throughout The Ghost in the Mirror (Puzzle Adventures). The relationship between the illustrations and text is carefully thought through and detailed as they link together seamlessly. The additional clues and answers at the back are very helpful to ensure that all readers can fully engage with the adventure.

The Puzzle Adventures series delights so many young readers and is fantastic to read with a younger child to enable them to spot clues and investigate. This series is so popular in our school book corners and library; they bring fun, discussion and joy to the reading experiences of so many.
