Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7–Fans of 11-year-old Tom Golden and his Invisible Friend, ghost Grey Arthur, will thoroughly enjoy this sequel to Golden & Grey: An Unremarkable Boy and a Rather Remarkable Ghost (S & S, 2005). For readers new to this pair, the author fills in the details, allowing careful readers to catch up. With their newfound celebrity, Tom and Grey are fairly bombarded by ghosts in all forms looking to become companions to human children in need of friends. Meanwhile, ghosts the world over are disappearing at the hands of the legendary Collector. Although a few notes sound reminiscent of a Harry Potter story (notably the references to spaces hidden between train station tracks), the ghostly elements and personalities are refreshingly original, funny, and endearing even in the face of danger.–Genevieve Gallagher, Murray Elementary School, Charlottesville, VA

From Booklist
In this delightful follow-up to Golden and Grey: An Unremarkable Boy and a Rather Remarkable Ghost, 11-year-old Tom Golden discovers that his spirit-world fame has prompted his ghost friend, Grey Arthur, to start an Invisible Friends school for goth-ghost Mildred, poltergeist Tike, egotistical Thesper Montague, and a Harrowing Screamer. Things are chaotic but manageable until ghosts begin to disappear, which leads to a dangerous mission and the discovery that the mythic, scary ghostworld character called the Collector is real. Arnold's engaging story, laced with sly wit and whimsy, brings ghost and human worlds together, with abundant, inventive details and diverse characters that interact and influence one another in often unexpected ways. Tom is an appealing protagonist who faces magical and mundane challenges while keeping his ghost-seeing ability and his spectral cohorts a secret. Full of high jinks and heart and not too scary, this will appeal to fans of Eva Ibbotson. Shelle Rosenfeld
