Description
Diana Wynne Jones at her finest - family feuds and chaos, magic with hilarious results. When their mother marries an Ogre, Casper, Johnny, and Gwinny are in for a shock. The Ogre brings his two sons, Douglas and Malcolm, into the mix, adding to the household's already chaotic atmosphere. As the five children and two adults share the same roof, tensions run high. However, things take a turn when the Ogre brings home Chemistry Sets - one for each of his sons. But what happens next is anything but expected. The discovery of flying lotion sets off a chain of events that will change their lives forever. In this humorous and original tale, Diana Wynne Jones weaves together family dynamics, magic, and mayhem to create a story that's both entertaining and unpredictable.
