Reviews

"Teenage Leah moves into a new house, and finds her bedroom already occupied, by the ghost of a boy from the 1970s. Although the book is Kendal's most chilling to date, it is also warm and funny."
Jewish Chronicle

"Penny Kendal has created an all too real thriller in Can You Hear Me?, one that focuses on domestic violence and its chilling conclusion . . . Recommended for children aged 13+."
