“Sunshine’s adventure is filled with bumps in the night and shadowy figures, alluding to a larger mystery and larger world that has plenty to offer imaginative readers who grew up onGoosebumps and the like. Suspenseful, exciting and endlessly entertaining.”
— Kirkus Review
“Sunshine’s story started as a YouTube series, and this creepy, suspenseful story condenses the plot of the original and offers a more polished voice than the videos. Existing fans won’t be the only ones eager for more of this strong but vulnerable heroine just awakening to her potential.”
— Booklist (Grades 7–10)
“This sometimes frightening tale and series opener is based on a YouTube channel of the same name, so transmedia fans can enjoy both formats. Readers who appreciated Holly Black’s Doll Bones (2013) or Cassandra Clare’s City of Bones series ... should consider picking up this creepy debut.”
— Julie Zimmerman, School Library Journal
"The plot moves along smoothly and rapidly, and the writing is graceful and wonderfully polished... It’s hard not to finish The Haunting of Sunshine Girl."
— Lev Grossman, Time Magazine
