Media reviews

"Murphy turns his honed nonfiction hand to spinning folklore...just the right jaunty exaggeration and haunting humor." Kirkus Reviews

"Murphy's tale is pleasingly full of blarney, and Manders' comic illustrations offset the meance of the night-demon." Booklist, ALA

"Children will appreciate this humorous ghost story; it makes a good read-aloud choice." School Library Journal

"An original tale in which a...lad from the Emerald Isle uses wit...to wiggle out of a spooky scrape." Publishers Weekly

"The tale's a lively one, with clever Fergus repeatedly besting the monster, and it's a good choice for reading aloud." Horn Book Guide
