Mom's Review:
A group of orphans, bad things happening, a book written in a humorous way - no, it's not THAT series. To tell the truth, the children aren't really orphans, only half-orphans, because their father is stil alive. But for all the care that they receive from their father, they might as well be orphans.
At first, this doesn't seem like a fantasy. Most of the story is concerned with mundane, although funny, situations such as bus rides, hotel rooms, and press conferences. But there are mysterious things going on - why is there an epidemic of holes suddenly appearing? And there are a few surprises before the end of the book!
The book is light-hearted and fun (although there is quite a bit of gruesome detail about Fergal's death) and there's plenty to laugh about.
