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 like 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, populated by some very old and wrinkled people indeed.
Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Heir of Mystery : The Second Unlikely Exploit (Unlikely Exploits) (Philip Ardagh) 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 planning to makesweeping changes to the world . . . which is all rather unlikely, isn"t it?
Packed with humor and excitement, this is another surefire winner.
