Magic and Mayhem by Marcus Sedgwick
Join the wonderfully weird Otherhand family and their faithful guardian, Edgar the raven, and discover the dark secrets of Castle Otherhand. A trip to the circus has far-reaching consequences for the Otherhands when Fellah goes missing. Before long the Castle is plagued by a duck, a suspect fortune teller, and several cartloads of lethal cabbages. The family is preoccupied: Valevine is busy inventing a cabbage-counting machine; Minty is waiting to hear the secrets of the universe; and Solstice has discovered that Cudweed is concealing three hundred and forty-two rabbits in his bedroom. When chaos strikes and thieves infiltrate the Castle, it falls to Edgar to extract his family from a very fluffy predicament. Dedicated website on Raven Mysteries: www.ravenmysteries.co.uk
"Magic and Mayhem is great, in a laugh out loud, these-characters-rock kind of way.. I love them, I think they're genius and amazing and everyone should read them (yes, even you ardent YA-only readers!). I hope one day Marcus decides to write book 7, and I know I'm not the only one. Even Blue Peter thinks it's a series of comedy gold, and you can't argue with that, can you?" -- Jenny Davies WONDROUS READS "It's such a breezy read, with a plot near-unguessable but easily followed. Words and pictures combine for an enjoyable atmosphere and a very entertaining time." THE BOOKBAG "If you love mystery or if you just want a laugh this brilliant book is the one for you." -- Molly, age 12 ANORAK MAGAZINE
