: "I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

What a delightfully twisted book! The story is unpredictable and keeps the readers at the edge of their seats. It oddly reminds me of a Tim Burton movie, dark, but Indigo is rather lovable unlike the rest of his family.

This book is HYSTERICAL. And sooooo dark.

The story begins with the sisters terrorizing a neighbour children who is unwilling to do their bidding.

Her punishment by the sisters is cruel, but also funny, a theme repeated again and again in the story.


But Indigo's had enough.

And when new neighbour Mandy Tripe and her family are terrorized by his sisters, he's had enough.


Cue an elaborate revenge plot where Peaches and her sisters get their comeuppance and Indigo and the neighbourhood children finally find peace.

Filled with cheeky humour and some very gross experiences, kids are going to lap this book up!

John Hearne has written a book worthy of the Roald Dahl canon.
