‘Children will love the concept of being able to spot what the young girl can’t and Jeffers’ dryly funny visual jokes on the elusiveness of spirits finish with a cliffhang . . . Another absolute winner from this inventive author’ Daily Mail
‘A delightful interactive story for Halloween, long on spectres but short on scares . . . Hauntingly adorable’ Guardian
‘the bestselling author pushes the boundaries of the picture book form . . . The giggling ghouls unseen by the girl may have little readers shouting “he’s behind you!” but there’s nothing panto-esque about this smart and inventive book’ Guardian

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Being of a similar age to the author, I could totally relate to the era she was raised in. I too, was raised with domestic help and have guilty memories of wishing things were different, even though I was only six.
Lost Property is written with emotion and leaves you lingering with images of a troubled past. Coupled with this is a feeling of hope and courage as issues are addressed. An excellent local read.
Supreme use of the English language in describing sex and culture and how they function together, how they transform and inform our lives. How we are subject to our biological whims, and how culture has attempted to be champion over our bestial nature's. It's truly a spectacular book
