Lockwood & Co: The Hollow Boy: Book 3 (Lockwood & Co., 3)

Product Information

The third book introduces a new character who mixes things up in the way that a newcomer does to a firm pre-established friendship. George dan Flo juga tidak ketinggalan dengan riset cerdasnya George dan gaya ala gelandangannya Flo. More on the competition: That last big conversation Lucy and Holly have, where Stroud tries to show Holly's side and to paint her behavior as rational, does real disservice to the portrayal of Lucy's insight. The time/setting is still off-putting - everything feels really steampunk-y, to the point where I had to keep reminding myself that it was taking place in modern day.

Also, the artwork here is great and so are the interior chapter headings, but please lighten the chapter artwork. Lots of tempting suggestions and questions arose, but with the book finishing abruptly I felt this one wasn't complete. The Bone Glass had been made from the bones of dead people so that people could see through it to “the other side,” into death itself. Without preamble, he'd taken George and me up to the landing, opened the forbidden door, and shown us a little of the truth. The son of the wealthy owner at the time had gone crazy, stabbed a servant, and chased the injured boy up the stairs, from which he had fallen to his death.Anthony Lockwood is dashing, George insightful, and Lucy dynamic, while the skull in the jar utters sardonic advice from the sidelines. Holly has more to her than meets the eye though – and as with all well-written fiction, the reader should beware of making assumptions based on other characters’ viewpoints. They are working comfortably as a small team, but all their time battling with the supernatural means that they have little time to keep things at headquarters organised. Not to mention his unique ability to leave us with a cliff-hanger that shocks us but also provides us with the opportunity to pick up the next book at a later time. Stroud lives in St Albans, Hertfordshire, with his two children, Isabelle and Arthur, and his wife Gina, an illustrator of children's books.

Ugh, this is such a downgrade for her character to be seen as some petty love interest that makes her leave the agency at the end because she just can't handle things. But I can’t even complain about that just pointing it out, not complaining bc im so bloody invested in this series, I will die when it ends, plz I don’t deserve this kinda pain. We already made his acquaintance in “The Whispering Skull” but we never learned his name until now and I gotta say I’m already very curious about him. I felt like book 2 had eased up on the horror (yes, it was still there, but not as intense), but this book hit me hard with at least three occasions where I was properly frightened by the imagery created through Stroud's descriptions.All of London is upset, and the large Fittes and Rotwell agencies decide to put on a festival to raise everyone’s spirits: “Take Back the Night! It's something a lot of MG books have to deal with, because for the most part, kids need space to have adventures. I was thrilled that my library finally got the audiobook for this latest release in the Lockwood and Co.

London is facing the worst period of ghost manifestations on record with serious haunting incidents (mainly in Chelsea) causing turmoil. We also start finding out a little more about the nature of the Problem, namely the apparition of all these supernatural beings. Chill, miasma, malaise and creeping fear – you can feel them rolling at you down the alleys, or stealing out of the houses as you pass.At the end of the last book— The Whispering Skull—Lockwood finally relented and let her and George in.
