I love the "Pure Dead" series! I'm reading them to my son; he can't wait for more - and I'm enjoying them as much as he is!

Imagine the Addams family in Scotland; that comes close to describing the Strega-Borgias, though the characters are nothing if not unique and original. There are strong, well developed characters of both genders, a marvelous assortment of highly unusual talking pets (including dragons), a castle with a moat, good witches, evil demons, a cryogenically frozen great great etc. grandmother who awakens from time to time, a villainous and homicidal half-brother, and thoroughly bizarre situations, all presented with great humor and warmth.

I highly recommend the "Pure Dead" books to anyone with an offbeat imagination, child or adult.

Debi Gliori's PURE DEAD FROZEN returns the Strega-Borgia family with a new adventure when a baby is born to the family but immediately is snatched away and replaced by a demon baby. Ancient evil comes back to life and the family's gearing up for a showdown in this fun fantasy.

As an adult working in a grammar school, I find myself reading a great deal of juvenile fiction. I am finding this series to be one of the most enjoyable I've come across. It's quirky!! The characters are unique and the interactions between them keep the interest and excitement going. I hope the series continues!!!

Pure Dead Frozen captures the imagination with humor and with just enough surprizes to keep you reading, and reading, and reading...

Debi Gliori is a talented author for young adults as well as her children's books! I think the Pure Dead series is even better than Harry Potter!!
