However the children T This is the first of 6 books which are great. However the children Titus, Pandora and their baby sister Damp have their own problems, namely resisting all attempts at getting them a nanny, finding a tribe of missing rats also lost on the internet and coping with the mysterious disappearance of their father. I found it hilarious. Nov 30, stephanie added it. There are also a few evil contractors plotting to destroy their home. Perhaps the miniature kilted warriors arising from the spilled magic potion can help This was definitely my favourite out of the Strega-Borgia books.
To cut a long story short, the roof of old the ancestral home begins to leak, forcing the Strega-Borgias to move out into a hotel in the nearby village of Auchenlochtermuchty I think that's how you spell it at great expense, while the roof gets repaired by a rather dodgy building company. Meanwhile, Titus and Pandora try to create their own clones. Absolute mayhem ensues, and quite a few people get eaten.
My favourite scene in the This was definitely my favourite out of the Strega-Borgia books. My favourite scene in the book absolutely has to be when Ffup realises something very important Dec 13, Mia rated it really liked it Shelves: This book was hilarious and actually had me laughing out loud. The plot was gripping the whole way through and there were so many twists and turns in the book. It definitely isn't a sequel to Pure Dead Magic, so you don't have to read it before reading this book.
I would recommend it to people of any age, but is aimed at younger people year olds.
However anyone can enjoy it, even if it is just a simple read during a slump. A delightful, comical follow-up to Pure Dead Magic Between miniature pink clones, an evil real estate developer stealthily destroying their home, and sundry other inconveniences, the Strega-Borgias are muddling on with the help of Flora, right up until the surprise in store for Titus at the end when he receives a letter informing him that he has inherited his grandfather's fortune, setting him at odds with Pandora.
This was a great little book even though i am not the intended audience i could still appreciate that it was a great read. It had drama family mythical creatures everything a child could want in a story. I found myself loving the characters especially the kids as i could relate to the siblings bickering with one another and having younger siblings than myself.
IT was well written for a children's book and had great detail i could picture everything i was reading in my mind. Another wacky and wonderful adventure with the Strega-Borgias. Running afoul of some nasty, greedy contractors and developers, the family holes up in the local hotel.
But being away from home doesn't prevent children, parents and beasties from getting into all sorts of trouble. Gliori's writing is whimsical and her characters are lovable and strange.

Pure Dead Wicked is a quick read, but a thoroughly amusing one. May 13, Christy rated it did not like it Shelves: This series is written in a funny candor and we enjoyed the first book. This one was odd. Jan 05, Cindy rated it it was ok. This is a young adult audio and it was weird.
Latch — the butler. Jun 21, Lisa rated it it was ok Shelves: The only strange part was the dragon that thought it was a boy and it turned out to be a girl. She grew up as an only child in Glasgow, and when young began drawing and writing stories. Not quite as good as I remember, but still good.
Maybe it would've been better to read the book, but I couldn't wait until it was over. The content was similar to Harry Potter - magical etc. Aug 20, Karla rated it liked it Shelves: I thought the vegetarian carnavore part a stay-over from the first book was pretty funny, but the book kind of lost me as far as interest goes. Don't plan to read the next 4 books in the series.
