Damned good reading! NEW
Lucifer Junior is the Devil’s son. He lives in Hell, and will one day
take over the “family business”. But his father still thinks Junior
is far too nice for the job, and sends him off to spend some
time in the land of the living – after all, where better to learn
how to be nasty than among human beings? No sooner is Luce
reunited with his friends at St Fidibus after the holidays when he
realises there is trouble afoot: The rugby players from the village
school are angry about not being allowed to use St. Fidibus’s
new sports ground, and are taking their frustration out on the
students. But Luce has a plan to get headteacher Mr Rabbitsfoot
and the sponsors to change their minds! In order for his plan to
succeed, he will need the help of his friends – and his demonic
powers. And so, like it or not, he has to tell the others that he is
the Devil’s son. But it seems he is not the only demon in town:
all of a sudden, Lilly also develops some unusual abilities!
