The Strega-Borgias are in deep water, but are they waving or drowning?

For Titus Strega-Borgia, oldest child and only son, being a teenager is tough, and the disappearance of reliable housekeeper and cake-maker extraordinaire Mrs McLachlan is not making it any easier. Nor does it help that his baby sister thinks she's a bat, his mother's dodgy Parmesan has shaved several years off his life, his vengeful Mafia uncle has struck a bargain with Hades, his long-dead ancestors have dropped in for a chat and the pet dragon is driving everyone mad with her new diet.

Another fabulous episode in the devilishly difficult lives of the Strega-Borgia family, heroes the Pure Dead . . . books.

'Irresistibly cool' GUARDIAN on Pure Dead Magic

'A breezy combination of wild caricature, computer-savvy contemporary sensibility and lavatorial jokes' SUNDAY TIMES on Pure Dead Wicked
