Playschool
Look through the cobwebbed, murky arched window in deepest Patagonia, and this is what you might see...
Every day five of the Flood children travel halfway round the world to Quicklime College, the ultimate school for witches and wizards. There's no time for silly games flying around on broomsticks. Sports day is coming up, and before you even wonder how four-legged Satanella copes with the three-legged race, here's a secret for you: Orkward Warlock, the vilest child in the school, and his sidekick, The Toad, hate the big happy Floods family. And they're plotting to kill the Floods - on sports day.

The Floods are a family of Wizards and Witches. The parents, Nerlin and Mordonna, have seven children, some of whom were not created in the traditional way like you and me, but were made in the cellar underneath their house, using incredible mystical powers, a set of very shiny 'Jamie Oliver' saucepans and a small chemistry set.
The Floods may bury relatives in their backyard, grow cobwebs in every room, and eat slugs for breakfast, but this loving family of wizards and witches could live in your town, or even right next door! They're spooky and weird and very funny, too!
