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.

About the Author:
Jamie Rix is one of the funniest writers working in children's books today. His GRIZZLY TALES FOR GRUESOME KIDS won the 'Children's Choice' Smarties Award in 1990 and his teenage novel JOHNNY CASANOVA was shortlisted for the Lancashire Children's Book Award. He has written several younger books including a number of picture books. From a theatrical family (he is the son of Brian (Lord) Rix), Jamie started work at the Royal Court and has worked on many BBC programmes including SMITH AND JONES, TEENAGE HEALTH FREAK and HOW TO BE A LITTLE SOD.
Review:
"The problems that go with being a younger sibling are well documented but Jamie Rix's take on the phenomenon is to appeal straight to the heart and humour of the matter" -- Lindsey Fraser * Scotsman * "A hilarious series . . . Stand-up comedy in book form" * TES * "If you've not come across this series, get ready for a severe injection of unconventionality. . . Jilts from random thought to comic memory" * Junior * "Hilarious" * Reading Evening Post * "Accompanied by fun illustrations throughout, this series is a real find as a strong male narrator is a rare thing indeed" * writeaway.org.uk *
