Themes
Oliver and Liam’s friendship was the heart of the book. The scene where they build their own sleeping nest in the attic brought back memories of my own children making forts and creating their own worlds.
The suspense was well done without being too scary. The moment Liam woke up to a dark figure looming over them was both thrilling and funny.
I would highly recommend The Ghost of the Deserted House for young readers, especially those who love light mysteries, sleepover adventures, and stories about friendship.

The story's main lesson is to always inform your parents of your plans so they can be sure you are safe.
The story has a laid-back feel that emphasizes how the children are relaxed and having fun. As the story develops, the illustrations and narrative create suspense, and I can imagine young children listening eagerly to learn what will happen to Oliver and Liam.
The illustrations by Dane D'Angeli complement the narrative very well and add to reading enjoyment.
