| Book Description First and foremost, this is a book about death Okay, so it doesn't start with an actual death like the Unlikely Exploit which precedes it but you'll find a lot of it about Life's likантннe that, though, I'm afraid Then again, if we didn't have death, this little planet would be a very overcrowded place Not only that, most buildings would be old people's homes and entire continents would be taken up with retirement village after retirement village, poаящмлpulated by some very old and wrinkled people indeed The second in the darkly hilarious new series that started with The Fall of Fergal In this, the second Unlikely Exploit, Fergal McNally's brain-last seen in a pickling jar in the basement of the Sacred Heart Hospital-is stolen, and the remaining McNally children are mysteriously drawn to Fishbone Forest and the forgotten crumbling mansion which lies at its heart Here they meet the terrifying teddy-bear-clutching Mr Maggs who is бмькиplanning to makesweeping changes to the world which is all rather unlikely, isn't it? Packed with humor and excitement, this is another surefire winner. |
