    Staircases that Scream!
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 9, 2023*

I discovered Lockwood & Co. by watching the excellent series on Netflix. For me, many Netflix series aimed at young adultish fantasy readers just aren't great. They tend to rely on elements of young adult fantasy that I dislike - the heroes are perfect and often fall into the category of abusive partners, heroines are often imperfect and need to be rescued and/or unattractive (and need to be rescued). The heroine is selfless and will sacrifice herself for anything and anyone. There's also the formulaic slut shaming aimed at any other woman who even speaks to the hero. None of this is true of Lockwood & Co. The series is one I didn't want to end and I definitely want to see a second season (Netflix, we're all looking at you here). It was so good that I had to read at least one of the books.The Screaming Staircase is the first in the five-book series and yes, dear reader, I'll be reading them all (no matter what Netflix decides to do).These books are listed as either middle-grade, or young reader, or young adult. I think they're suitable for some elementary school readers and definitely suitable for adults. If you know a kid who loves Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, I think they would also love these books.We're in an alternate England, but especially London, where there is a plague of ghosts of all kinds - get touched by one and you'll soon join them. Children are the only ones who are able to combat them because they have powers that allow them to get the upper hand. They grow out of these powers, of course, but still require adult "supervision," although you learn the worth of that pretty quickly. Lockwood & Co. is a 3-person agency with no adult supervision. Lockwood, Lucy, and George are content to do their own research on their cases and to do battle to raise ghosts to rest. Of course, there are misadventures, but these just make you root for the characters even more.After a very unfortunate mishap involving Greek fire in a house that ... well, you can probably imagine ... the trio falls on hard times. There are fines to be paid and they move lose their house and their business or at a minimum come under supervision (yeah, I'm not fond of adult supervision, either). At the last moment, the owner of the most haunted house in England hires them to make the place less haunted.The world building is ingenious and is communicated through just enough exposition and events that occur in the books. Anthony Lockwood is my favorite kind of English prep school boy - you know the ones - tousled hair, handsome, deadly with a rapier, mysterious, and a true and loyal friend. George Cubbins is a researcher - a budding young scientist complete with loads of library time and some dubious experimental undertakings. Lucy Carlyle, our heroine and narrator, is tough, talented, and not afraid to speak her mind - more and more so as the book goes on. I like her a lot - so good to see a heroine who isn't a princess in need of rescue (more of this please).The book was engaging and interested and I returned to it again and again with anticipation. It was good enough that it took me awhile to find my next read and once I finished that one, I started on the second Lockwood & Co book, The Whispering Skull.Highly recommended!

    You don't need to be a teenager to enjoy this book
  

*by L***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2023*

Like other commenters here, I started reading this book after watching the Netflix series. There are a few differences in characters and major events between the Netflix series and the books, but they're fairly minor differences. There are some details in the books that are missing or glossed over in the Netflix series, which make the books worthwhile reading for those who liked Netflix series, which covered only the first book and part of the second..I'm far beyond the recommended reader age, but I found the books as entertaining as "adult" fantasy novels I've read in the past. Some of the humorous insults tossed around by the main characters are a bit juvenile, but after all, they are all in their mid-teens so some teenage snark should be expected.The mysteries that make their appearance in the first book -- most importantly the origins of "the Problem" -- are only very gradually resolved as the series progresses in the later books, but the mysteries are resolved in a way that makes sense. Once you start reading the first book, you won't be able to stop until you've read all five of them.

    Amazing and unique teen fiction. captivating!
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 4, 2023*

My kids and I really enjoyed this book, which we first came to love as a Netflix series. Now we’ll go through the rest of the collection, hoping they’ll continue bringing the rest of the story to life in shows or movies! Johnathan Stroud has a special way of connecting the reader with the characters, which makes the story so vivid with its ups and downs, shivers and laughs. The world in which the plot unfolds is singularly imaginative, and real enough to exist just barely  beyond one’s own sight.
