"A cute self-help style book that is a good transition between picture books and more wordy graphic novels, Hugo’s Haunted Handbook is sure to be a hit."
Canadian Review of Materials
"By turning the tables on Hugo and his ghost, author-illustrator Dave Whamond just adds another dimension to an already amusing interaction, taking Hugo's Haunted Handbook from funny to side-splitting."
