Pure Dead Wicked Debi Gliori 9780440419365 Books

I bought this book for my nephews, and decided to read it before giving it away. The Strega Borgia family is even funnier than ever in this book. Their tumble down castle's roof is falling in and they have to move out so that the contractors can work. Little do they know that the evil contractor want to buy the castle cheap, so that he can build a cheap housing development. He and his crew do their best to destroy the castle. The family has to live in an hotel in the nearby village. The dragon, crocodile, yeti and griffin aren't exactly welcome. The proprietress has designs on Luciano, and Titus is using his computer to make clones. Pandora is upset about leaving Multitudina and Tarantella behind. Then, there is the mystery of the Strega Borgia diamond.
This is a really great book for both children and adults. It makes bedtime stories a little more fun for everyone.

Pure Dead Wicked Debi Gliori 9780440419365 Books Reviews

I bought this book for my children and found that I, too, was enthralled by the story. What a wonderful book! I hope Ms. Gliori continues with the series! It would make an excellent movie!
In a castle far away, with magical creatures who protect their family, there is...
... A yeti that wipes his nose on his own fur, a dragon that burns the food and a crocodile that eats people.
A magical tale full of humour and adventure
This wasn't a book where you HAD to keep reading or you would die...it was more a hahaha this is hilarious and a book you would pick up for some light reading. It was a mix of Artemis Fowl plot and Lemony Snicket humour. It was a book full of mystery and laughter. If you liked Lemony Snicket or Artemis Fowl then this is your kind of book. It is sarcastic, witty and has subtle ironic humour that is buried just below the surface. If you like to laugh then read this book...and the prequel which is Pure Dead Magic. All that sums this book up is well...funfun you got it! (like as in bk u got it!) Well anywys this is a great book for ages 10 to 13...but if you are younger or older then you might enjoy this too!
Purely enjoyed this book! Very imaginative. I suspect some of the words and names used will be hard for less literate young people to understand or pronounce, but I don't think it detracts from the book. I'm currently reading the second book in the series, and so far, I'm enjoying it just as much as the first.
In "Pure Dead Magic," Deb Gliori introduced us to the eccentric Strega-Borgia family in an ancestral Scottish castle, StregaSchloss. Now she takes their story a few steps further, in a hotel stay and house repair difficulty bad enough to induce cold sweats in the middle of the night. It's a charming sequel with the same quirky cast and unabashed low humor, and kids will love it.
The roof of StregaSchloss is not just leaking, but falling off. After a slate demolishes the family car and a deluge of water destroys the library, Signor Strega-Borgia moves the family out to a hotel until the problem can be rectified. Unfortunately, the family not only includes his wife, his kids Titus Pandora and Damp, and the family nurse, but also the pet dragon, griffin, yeti and crocodile. (The cryogenically frozen grandmother, the spider, and the rats all stay behind)
Mayhem begins immediately. A desperate real estate dealer begins trying to persuade Signor Strega-Borgia to sell the castle to him (so he can "develop" the area), and the predatory owner of the hotel, Mrs. Froves-Campbell, tries to seduce him. The pets cause assorted problems. The roof of StregaSchloss vanishes, prompting the horrified Signor Strega-Borgia to sell. And Titus cooks up a scheme to clone himself and Pandroa -- except instead of two full-sized clones, he accidently creates hundreds of tiny ones. With an army of unruly clones, a decaying castle, a pregnant dragon, a murderous hotel owner, and a tiny jar of vanishing cream, Pandora and Titus definitely have their hands full.
Gliori manages to sidestep one of the major flaws of many sequels, which is making the sequel too much like the first. "Wicked" is quite different from "Magic," while retaining the elements that made the first book endearing a mix of magic and technology, a grandmotherly witch, gross-out hijinks and a pair of in-over-their-head kids.
The reactions of Pandora and Titus ("Our parents would kill us if they knew") to having 500 Mini-Mes running around the hotel are hilarious, and there is a note of poignancy when the clones begin to age. Kindly witch Mrs. McLachlan serves as a note of relative sanity, and the skin-and-fur-loving Mrs. Fforbes-Campbell will inspire disgust in readers from the start. And the pets/security system are given extra dimensions when forced to live in ordinary surroundings (and with the promise of new beastie problems in the next book).
Those who enjoyed the darkly quirky Strega-Borgia family in the first book will definitely like the second. A good read for this upcoming Halloween.
A Fun and imaginative story
Series I enjoyed reading at high school and enjoyed reading it a second time too!
Love Debi Gliori, Love this series, really wish I had a Nanny Flora.
