Bored of being cooped up with only his laptop for entertainment, Titus tries his own experiment in cyber-cloning, only to end up besieged by 500 miniature versions of himself and his sister Pandora. The beasts too are fed up at the hotel. Determined to return to StregaSchloss, Ffup the dragon, Sab the gryphon and friends set off cross-country, only occasionally distracted by the call of the wild . . . A superbly labyrinthine plot weaves together clones, kids, beasts and dodgy roofers with great humour and a touch of magic in this highly acclaimed second novel.

From the Inside Flap:
Just when the Strega-Borgias think it?s safe to relax in their ancestral castle . . . it isn?t.
First their roof collapses, forcing them into the Auchenlochtermuchty Arms?the only local hotel that will accomodate three mythical beasts and one crocodile. Then Titus accidentally creates 500 tiny naked pink clones. And 500 tiny naked pink clones are not easy to manage. But not surprisingly, this isn?t the biggest Strega-Borgia dilemma?there?s also a few evil contractors plotting to destroy their home forever. Perhaps the miniature kilted warriors arising from the spilled magic potion can help. . . .

“Plainly channeling Roald Dahl and Charles Addams through her own uniquely wacky sense of humor, Gliori dishes up as a successor to Pure Dead Magic an equally barbed, sidesplitting farce.”–Kirkus Reviews
“The story will make children roar with laughter. . . . This installment will not disappoint.”–School Library Journal
The hilarious sequel to Pure Dead Magic is “a pedal-to-the-medal page turner.”–Kirkus Reviews
