Review: In a castle far away, with magical creatures who protect their family, there is...

... A yeti that wipes his nose on his own fur, a dragon that burns the food and a crocodile that eats people.

A magical tale full of humour and adventure

Review: My children (9 & 12) listened to this on tape and LOVED it. It's funny and intelligent, acccesible to children but full of jokes for adults as well. There's a little magic, a devoted family (and both parents are alive!) whose ancient castle (with Granny frozen in the freezer) is under attack by a villainous builder, Hugh Pylum Height, and a wild combination of the new (laptops) and the old (Nanny) to ensure that all will end happily. How can you resist a book with a baby named Damp, a son who conjures up tiny clones who won't behave, and a pet Yeti who takes direct action against the villains?

Review: Pure Dead Wicked is Hilarious. I hope they keep going with the series.
The Strega-Borgias have to move out of their ancient castle, because the roof was falling apart. They move to a hotel were thir beasts are not exactly welcomed, after they made a few mistakes. Then the Titus Strega-Borgia has an idea that turns horribly wrong. The man they hiredto fix their roof is actually doing the opposite, so he can get Senoir Strega-Borgia to sell it and he can tear it down and sell the land to another man.
After all these problems and difficulties, the Strega-Borgias save their house and not get arrested for four murders.
