      About This Book

      In this eagerly awaited sequel to A House Called Awful End, Eddie Dickens narrowly avoids being blown up, trampled by horses, hit by a hot-air balloon, and arrested—only to find himself falling head over heels for a girl with a face like a camel's and into the hands of a murderous gang of escaped convicts, up on the misty moors, who have a "little job- for him to do.

      All the old favorites are here—including Mad Uncle Jack and Malcolm (or is it Sally?) the stuffed stoat—along with some worrying-looking new ones. Beware !
