Floods 3: Home And Away




The Floods family are on the run from an angry father with a talent for exploding, some very nasty but rather bumbling spies and the prospect of a life down the toilet…

The Floods family are on the run from an angry father with a talent for exploding, some very nasty but rather bumbling spies and the prospect of a life down the toilet…

The Floods family are on the run! Travel back in time to faraway Transylvania Waters and find out what happened when a lowly drain cleaner called Nerlin Flood fell in love with the royal princess Mordonna. Can the two escape from an explosively angry King Quatorze, the nastiest spies in the land, and the prospect of life down the toilet? Why does their eldest child, Valla, drink blood? Was Satanella really turned into a dog because of an accident with a prawn and a faulty wand?

This is your chance to find out how all the Floods children came to be born - or created.

Praise for Floods 3: Home And Away

Book Buddies praise for THE FLOODS 2: PLAYSCHOOL:

'A great ghoulish book with lots of childish fun. It's an easy read great for all ages. I reckon THE FLOODS 2: PLAYSCHOOL is a perfect mix of humour fantasy with a pinch of gore. It's nice to see monsters as good guys for once.' - Clara Krupp, age 11

'One of the best reads I've ever had.' - Ben Buckland, age 9

'I really enjoyed reading THE FLOODS 2, because of the kids' way of life (eg always wanting to go to school), and how the fantasy intertwines with humour and adventure... I also liked how it had little explanations (usually funny) down the bottom of the page... I could not put this book down, even when we had visitors over!' - Conor Moylan, age 11

'It was good because it had some humour and was very witty. The characters were funny and the magical games were very cool. I loved the magical spells and the names were good too.' - Tom St John, age 8
