A gorgeously gothic debut series. Packed
with wonderful characters, witty writing and thrilling
adventure.
STARFELL meets THE ADDAMS FAMILY.
Meet Malice Morbid Malign.
She’s from Underland, land of sorcery, spooks and skulduggery.
But, she and her family live in Topside and mischief is their
business . . .
And the business of mischief is a very serious matter!
From Malignant House, Ma and Pa run the Malign Haunting Agency,
tormenting Topside families and their homes. After all, it is their
responsibility to maintain respectable levels of ghastly amongst
the Topsiders. And as Underland representatives, the Malign’s
hate books, they hate bathing, and they especially HATE helping.
The problem is, Malice is the exact opposite of her unpleasant,
smelly, mischievous family. And when grandad ghosts mysteriously
start disappearing, including her own beloved grandad, Malice has
no choice but to help rescue him.
Malice partners up with her Uncle Vexatious, Private Investigator
of Underland and outcast of the Malign family.
Can they solve the case of the missing grandad-ghosts?
And will Malice still be a Malign at the end of it?!
The perfect next read for Amelia Fang fans.
This funny, warm-hearted, spooky series – stunningly illustrated
by Hannah Peck, and beautifully packaged – will delight
and enchant middle-grade readers aged 9-12.
