(3) 4-6 The Strega-Borgia family is back in their huge castle by the loch, combining their familiar Scottish magic, mythical beasts, and gross-out humor with a plot that has Titus giving up his millions in inheritance to thwart a demon and an old curse. This entry is more focused and assured than the previous books, with nanny Mrs. McLachlan showing her magical chops and family bonds taking center stage.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
