A raucous book filled with demented and horrible children who get their just desserts. Luscious writing spiced up with injections of carbolic humour.

You'll meet a boy reduced to ashes while playing a stolen trumpet in an electric strom, a junior embezzler who inflates a flattened road-kill with a bicycle pump and a flock of pink butterflies made of peeled-off eyelids. Join in and relish the deserving victims' ghastly fates!
