Synopsis
This is the first entry in a trilogy of books about the unlikely life of an 11-year-old boy named Eddie Dickens. Sent to stay with his "Mad Uncle Jack and Mad Aunt Maud" while his parents recover from a lingering illness, Eddie mistakenly ends up at St. Horrid's Home for Grateful Orphans. Will Eddie ever escape and make it to his aunt and uncle's esate--a place known by the rather inauspicious name of Awful End? Occasional pen-and-ink drawings accompany the text.
When eleven-year-old Eddie Dickens's ill parents become "a bit crinkly round the edges," he is taken by his great-uncle and great-aunt, Mad Uncle Jack and Mad Aunt Maude, and embarks on adventures that involve strolling actors, St. Horrid's Home for Grateful Orphans, and a carnival float shaped like a giant cow.

Industry reviews
"Adult fans of BLEAK HOUSE and OLIVER TWIST will appreciate Ardagh's clever crafting, and kids who lap up Lemony Snicket's series will take quickly to this tale and clamor for the next."
