The Revenge Files of Alistair Fury: Dead Dad Dog



Another fabulous instalment in the hilarious ALISTAIR FURY series. The official tie-in for a TV series screened on the BBC in 2008.

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.

Reading Evening Post

If you've not come across this series, get ready for a severe injection of unconventionality. . . Jilts from random thought to comic memory

Junior

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
