4-6Floods series.
Illustrated by
Crab Scrambly.
Constructing dungeons and burying relatives in the backyard may not seem like desirable traits in neighbors, but the Floods are angelic compared to the obnoxious Dents next door. What's a family of witches and wizards to do but get rid of the Dents? Wobbly black-and-white sketches show the Floods in action. The book's gothic playfulness is reminiscent of The Addams Family.
