Revenge Files of Alistair Fury: Dead Dad Dog
Alistair is fed up at being treated like a slave while the rest of the family is ill. Not even lacing his brother and sister's medicine with washing-up liquid gets him off nursing duties!
He's still busy trying to hatch the perfect plot for revenge when they're all dragged off to Ireland for a family funeral. Soon, Alistair's plans are full of spooks, spirits and bones. But his brother and sister have similar ideas . . . !
In lively and accessible diary form, this is a story of family life at its funniest, packed with schoolboy humour.
