Eddie Dickens and the Awful End

When both of Eddie’s parents catch a diseas that makes them turn yellow, it’s agreed he should go away and stay with relatives at their house, Awful End.

Alas for Eddie, those relatives are Mad Uncle Jack and Even Madder Aunt Maud – and the journey to Awful End will take him to everywhere from St. Horrid’s Hone for Grateful Orphans to an audience with The Empress of All China. They never actually make it to Awful End, but that’s okay. The hilarious, nefarious, precarious journey is well worth its weight in wonderful and wacky words.
