Synopsis

Emajicka is marching on Grimmery with an army of a million Fey. Can things possibly get worse? Yes, they can, for Ike is all alone. Mellie has gone, attempting to pull off the perfect crime. Lord Monty is at war with his reattached head. The beautiful sprite Mothooliel wants to steal Ike’s eyeballs, and Grogire the firewyrm plans to kill him in the most disgusting way. Can Pook and Ike free the Collected children? Will Ike discover the secret of the Gate Guardians and clear his parents’ names in time to save Grimmery? Or will Spleen and Nuckl finally feast on Ike’s innards? Brace yourselves for a wild ride. READ the first chapters: http://www.ian-irvine.com/calamitousq... REVIEWS "The funniest horror story you'll read in a long while - Ian Irvine is a master of fantasy and this is the best yet." Good Reading. "Entertainingly written in an energetic, descriptive style. An extraordinary fantasy world. Fast and furious and very funny." Reading Time. "Irvine has great fun creating his world . Funny and fast-paced, Ike's story reads briskly, leaved with a little horror and a dash of scatological humour. A fun adventure for upper-primary readers. Recommended." Bookseller and Publisher. "The fun explodes off every page." Richard Harland, international bestselling author of Worldshaker. www.richardharland.net "A wonderful tale. Delightfully dark and delicious."
