Vampires and Volts (The Raven Mysteries book 4)

by Marcus Sedgwick (Author)

Synopsis

Join the wonderfully weird Otherhand family and their faithful guardian, Edgar the raven, and discover the dark secrets of Castle Otherhand. It's Halloween and the Otherhands are enjoying the Annual Pumpkin Hunt. And there are preparations to be made for the Great Halloween Ball. Minty is all a-fluster. Solstice is busy spraying fake cobwebs everywhere. Valevine is in charge of disorganising everyone's carefully laid plans, and Cudweed seems hungrier than ever and oddly preoccupied with 'fresh brains'. In fact when Silas, Valevine's long lost brother, turns up with Samantha, the Otherhands would be well-advised to check out their guests. It's not long before wily Edgar works out that there's a preponderance of vampires and not all of them have false teeth...Dedicated website on Raven Mysteries: www.ravenmysteries.co.uk

Media Reviews
a very funny vampiric tale, where our beloved raven guide must yet again save the day. THE BOOK BAG Just when I thought the Raven Mysteries series couldn't get any better, along came Vampires and Volts. I think it's the best since book 1, Flood and Fang, which I absolutely loved. I guessed I'd probably like this one thanks to vampires being involved, but I didn't expect it to be so funny. Marcus Sedgwick makes me laugh with the smallest flippant comment, which I think is a great writing talent to have! WONDROUS READS BLOG
