Average rating
The seventh in a smash hit series of hilarious tales about primary school life from best-selling, award-winning creators! Packed with excellent black and white illustrations, this is the perfect longer read for newly confident readers.
Nothing is quite as it seems for Izzy and her friends, and the drama is always off the scale!
Izzy and her friends are shocked when they find their lollipop man has disappeared! Maisie thinks he’s gone to Rome but if that’s true, why do they keep seeing a weird white wispy cloud around the school? And why do Izzy’s legs feel cold even though she’s got tights on?
Could it be that the lollipop man is a PHANTOM and he’s come to spook them all?!
Have you read these brilliantly funny Izzy and friends adventures?

Praise for Izzy and friends:
""Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham’s zany pictures make the series an absolute must."" – The Bookseller
""Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers."" – Sunday Times

It was a really good book I would recommend this book to someone 4 or above because some bits of the book could be a bit scary for some people

I liked this book because it was a page turner, it was funny and little bit scary because of the phantom lollipop man.

My favourite character was Izzy because she told the story and it was very funny. I liked how on the front cover of the book it said no road crossings were haunted in the making of this book!

A funny book! All this confusion just because someone in the office said the lollipop man had 'moved on' instead of retired! Really silly and enjoyable.

Really funny book and very easy to read
Captain Kiki Teacup 12.08.2025
I think this book is a really good book because it has a lot of cliffhangers at the end of chapters so it makes you want to read on. I recommend this book to anyone like my sister who is adventurous, mischievous and wants to find some FUN! This book is a really good book for people over 4 but under well no particular limit so anyone can read it.YAY!

I enjoyed this book because i liked how they introduced a new lollipop man and the four friends become suspicious wondering where the old lollipop man has gone. They suspect he is now a phantom and go on an adventure to try and get him back.

This is a fiction book and my favourite character is the lollipop man because he is a phantom and can move around secretly. Yes, I would recommend this book to my friends.

I thought it was funny the head teacher fainted in his sheperds pie and enjoyed the whole book
Captain Sketch Pinkerton 01.09.2024
Is he really dead though? The thing I like about these stories is all the creepy bits have a logical explanation! Also, they really are funny!
General Pixie Chipperfield 01.09.2024

Director Angel O’Doughnut 29.08.2024
This was great, I liked how it’s always a twist at the end. Some of the characters were funny which made it really good. From beginning to near the end you think something is going to happen, but right near the end it turns out to be totally different to what you thought.
