Mallory Vayle Curse Maggoty Skull

Mallory Vayle can see dead people and mostly tries to ignore them. But when her parents are ghost-napped, she is forced to team up with a talkative skull to get them back. Maggoty Skull promises to teach her the dark skills she needs, but only if she gets him a magnificent wig and promises to break the curse he has been placed under.

Can the unlikely pair vanquish an evil spirt, free Mallory's parents AND even become friends? Maybe, but only if Maggoty stops calling Mallory "Bumcrack"...

Info autore

Martin Howard writes absurdly funny books for children. His last was a Sunday Times Book of the Week and he has been compared to Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and the Monty Pythons. Mallory Vayle and the Curse of Maggoty Skull is his favourite so far.As a child, Pete Williamson stayed up past his bedtime drawing strange
things in a small room. Now he has kind of grown up, he stays up past his
bedtime drawing even stranger things, but in a different small room.

Riassunto
