Jake's an only kid. He's the only kid in his family. He's the only kid on his island. Or that's what he thinks.
'...demonstrates his usual down-to-earth Aussie humour and empathy. In his inimitable way of mixing scary reality with comedy, Gleitzman sensitively introduces the subject of the cruel children's homes that are a shameful part of Australia's past into an often knockabout story of ghosts, impossible guests and the mysterious Mr Goff.' THE GUARDIAN (Kit Spring)
