Overview
Overview
A sinister Problem has occurred in London: all nature of ghosts, haunts, spirits, and specters are appearing throughout the city, and they aren't exactly friendly. Only young people have the psychic abilities required to see-and eradicate-these supernatural foes. Many different Psychic Detection Agencies have cropped up to handle the dangerous work, and they are in fierce competition for business. In The Screaming Staircase, the plucky and talented Lucy Carlyle teams up with Anthony Lockwood, the charismatic leader of Lockwood & Co, a small agency that runs independent of any adult supervision. After an assignment leads to both a grisly discovery and a disastrous end, Lucy, Anthony, and their sarcastic colleague, George, are forced to take part in the perilous investigation of Combe Carey Hall, one of the most haunted houses in England. Will Lockwood & Co. survive the Hall's legendary Screaming Staircase and Red Room to see another day? Readers who enjoyed the action, suspense, and humor in Jonathan Stroud's internationally best-selling Bartimaeus books will be delighted to find the same ingredients, combined with deliciously creepy scares, in his thrilling and chilling Lockwood & Co. series.

Best Book Ever!
Mya G. - 6 years 2 months agoThis is my favorite series ever! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Lockwood captured my heart and I love him so much. <3 Lucy is a great character I can really relate to. And George is hilarious. A lot of quotes about him make me laugh out loud. I found myself grinning throughout the whole reread. Because I feel like I was visiting home. I felt like I was an agent, going on these psychic investigations with Lockwood, Lucy, and George. And the story line is expertly plotted. Even rereading, I was in suspense about what would happen. Conclusion: read this. You won't regret it. #RequiredReading

Very happy to be so wrong about my assumptions!
Robin L. - 6 years 5 months agoI picked this book up on a whim because the cover was pretty. I had never even heard of this author before. This is truly YA fiction at its best! Its very different from most of what's out right now. It's not really post apocalyptic and its not zombies but it is a little spooky while being funny at the same time. The descriptions are amazingly detailed without being super lengthy and the characters feel real. I started reading this book with low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. I'm glad its a series so i can keep on enjoying.
