The Dreaded Lurgie

From the creator of Grizzly Tales For Gruesome Kids and The Revenge Files of Alistair Fury comes this darkly comic novel. Ideal for anyone who loves witches! This was the first novel ever written by Jamie Rix. The nation's youth is under attack! Children everywhere are falling prey to the Dreaded Lurgie, an evil epidemic with sinister symptoms. It's horrible, but it's happening...the Dreaded Lurgie makes you old! Frank and Arthur know that something must be done. They are also convinced that the spread of the Lurgie is down to witchy Ma McCracken, infamous child-hater and their next-door neighbour. An antidote must be found to both these blights, or the nation's playgrounds will lie deserted... forever. "A madcap and devilish story by Jamie Rix... which manages to be both funny and frightening at the same time." (The Times)
