LOCKWOOD & CO:SCREAMING (B) Review: The beginning of a great adventure - I confess that I read this book because of the Netflix series. It caught my attention, and was great fun. But as good as the show was, the book is even better. This book introduces us to a fantastic cast of characters, with strengths and weaknesses, quirks and habits, that help them feel so alive. As a firm believer that banter makes or breaks story, I can say the author nails it. It helps the book have great moments of laughter while maintaining a spooky environment. The story is fantastically fresh, while starting with just enough familiarity to help you hit the ground running. Old tropes and myths about ghosts and haunting are given great form by the author. Such as using silver and iron in traditional ways while giving them more modern twists. You can read this book as a standalone story, with a great beginning and end, or you can give in a read the full series. I recommend the latter, as the adventure just gets better. Review: Super Creepy - Super Fun - This is a fun book, something I would have absolutely gone bonkers over when I was in grade school or junior high. As an adult, it's a nice break from some of the heavier fantasy. It's also refreshing in that it focuses on action instead of romance - which is what has turned me off from a lot of the YA stuff coming out. I wanted to read about kids fighting ghosts and that's what I got. One of the things that struck me was that the story was told in first person, not from the PoV of Lockwood, but from the perspective of the group's latest recruit, a young lady by the name of Lucy Carlyle. In some ways, it reminds of a Sherlock Holmes story with Lucy taking the place of Dr. Watston, describing the escapades of the group, especially their eccentric leader Anthony Lockwood. The story leaps right into the action, detailing an exciting and completely disastrous job that nearly kills off Lucy and Lockwood straight off. It gets them into all sorts of hot water, especially financially, and provides the reason they take on a wholly nasty job that could well be beyond their abilities. I won't go into tons of detail, I don't want to ruin the adventure, but I will say there are tons of creepy and dangerous ghosts the trio (Lucy, Lockwood and George) must deal with. It's no Scooby Doo tale where the ghosts end up being fake. I like the rationale for why all of the ghost hunters are youngsters. I don't like how all of the adults are either stupid or nasty. There is too much of that in stories intended for a young audience. It's okay for the kids to be heroes without having to resort to turning all adults into the enemy. Aside from that, I found the book a real pleasure. I will be reading the next in the series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 5,546 Reviews | ## Images ![LOCKWOOD & CO:SCREAMING (B) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UhOjlQb2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The beginning of a great adventure *by A***R on April 6, 2025* I confess that I read this book because of the Netflix series.

Call Lockwood & Co.! *by T***S on January 27, 2015* Please understand that all my reviews focus on the interests of my middle school students. I never do a full plot synopsis in a review and try to give as little away as possible. YA literature always seems to "get things" much better than those dusty tomes for grown ups! The Ghost/spirit-monster genre is certainly no exception. You just can't beat The Last Apprentice (that's the Wardstone Chronicles for you Brits), especially if you like a stoic first-person narration, or the Monstrumologist series, although it is very, very dark. Now we have Stroud venturing into the spiritual realm again (as in the Bartimaeus series), only this time the human main character (a girl name Lucy Carlyle) is actually likable (remember, Bartimaeus, though very likable, is not human). Stroud returns to London for his setting, but it is London of the near-future, not the past. The plot's major premise is that the world (England in particular) is experiencing what the populace calls the Problem: sinister ghosts, capable of killing and inflicting serious injury both physical and mental, have started appearing all over the place. The small-letter problem is that only children and teens can see and deal with these deadly apparitions. As the kids age, they start losing their gifts to see (before they manifest), hear, feel, etc. the ghosts (called Visitors). A lot of them then become supervisors for the kids who do the real work. The gifts these children have differ in form, strength, and usefulness. Needless to say, getting rid of ghosts soon becomes a thriving industry. Agencies spring up all over the place, and, in time, of course, some garner better reputations and more clients than others. All agencies use adult supervisors to oversee the kids. It is isn't long before the government sticks its bureaucratic nose into things. Between the adult interference and government regulation, ghost-busting starts to lose its effectiveness. Enter our hero, Anthony Lockweed, who leads the Lockwood & Co. psychic detection agency. He is himself a mid-teen; he hires only other kids and loathes the restrictions of having frightened adults along on a case. There is a fly in this ointment, however, as the agency has only three employees: Anthony, the afore-mentioned Lucy, and George, a gluttonous, but brilliant, thirteen-year-old. In addition, the agency is in serious financial peril and will soon have to shut down if its fortunes don't turn. The plot centers on the kids' effort to rescue the agency by solving a high-profile and extremely dangerous case while at the same time seeing to the needs of their other clients and cases. The pace of the plot is not exactly blistering, but it is never tedious, either. You will move along quite well and smoothly. For me, the first-person narrative (by Lucy) is absolutely addictive. If you do the math from given clues, you can deduce that Lucy is around fifteen. She is spunky, decisive, a bit spontaneous (but NOT impulsive), and very adamantly independent. The narration is light and conversational and, although not as consistenly humorous as Bartimaeus, will at times have you laughing out loud. Stroud has nailed the voice of a mid-teen, feisty girl. Character development is superb, both of minor and major characters. The second book in the series is now available. If you like Delaney, Yancey, Wrede, and others like them, you will love this book/series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66019620-lockwood-and-co-screaming-b](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66019620-lockwood-and-co-screaming-b) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
