Deep Fear

Deep Fear

Summary

An epic tale of a final battle between good and evil. The Strega-Borgias are in deep fear for their lives!

The forces of evil are converging on StregaSchloss - demons, the Mafia, a changeling with a nasty bite - and the wild and weird Strega-Borgias must gather together their allies to fight back. But there are just a few too many distractions, with Damp the toddler-witch missing in action and a house full of wolves and bickering teenagers getting in the way. Can the family keep it together - even when they're scattered over time and place?

A deliciously inventive and hilarious finale to the Pure Dead . . . series

Reviews

  • The quirkiness and eccentricity of the characterisation is absolute genius. It is pure and high-spririted escapism, together with enough bottom jokes to keep every child in class laughing for at least a week
