Claire's parents have turned up in town along with some undesirable guests. The arrival of Mr Bishop and his evil escorts has put even Amelie and Oliver on edge and could it be possible that they will join forces against a common enemy? Yet Amelie is holding a welcome feast for Mr Bishop and the whole town seems to be involved.

I personally thought the reasoning behind the feast was quite obvious and whilst the story is fast paced and addictive, I think the fact that these are aimed at younger readers is starting to show. I would have expected more progression in the relationships in the house. It does seem that sometimes the story skirts round obvious plot choices in order to give the right message out to teens.
