Product Description

The Strega-Borgia children are still reeling from the shock of their nanny's disappearance at the end of Deep Trouble. Without Flora to tend to them, the kids are growing up fast. Indeed, Titus is in the throes of a deeply embarrassing and magically accelerated puberty, while all around the usual chaos reigns. Baby Damp is learning to fly under the tutelage of a bat called Vesper, Ffup the dragon is struggling with the Atkins diet and Tarantella the tarantula is trying to teach her daughters the rudiments of mascara. So far, so StregaSchloss, but add in an arrest for murder, a demon intent on revenge and a suicidal deep-frozen ancestor and you have a recipe that could only be cooked up in a Gliori-cauldron.

Review
" "It's strange, kooky, funny and enthralling. If you haven't got into the Pure Dead series, it is highly recommended for children aged 9-11." - Birmingham Post"

Customer Reviews

These "Deep" books are the same as the "Pure Dead" books
I was excited to find these "Deep" books ("Deep Water," "Deep Fear," etc.) and thought they were a continuation of the "Pure Dead" series my son loves. Turns out, however, that they are the same series under a different title. They are great books! But if you already own the "Pure Dead" series, don't order these.
