    Hardcover (Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), April 5, 2016)
    When eleven-year-old Nelson's beloved older sister goes missing, he is devastated. She's his only friend and means the world to him.

There in a dusty crypt Nelson stumbles across an ancient machine that accidentally extracts the so-called seven deadly sins from his soul. The machine turns them into ugly, cantankerous, and embarrassing creatures who follow him everywhere. But there is more to these monsters than meets the eye, and in this off-the-wall debut novel about making friends and taking courage, Nelson finds that these strange newcomers are just the companions he needs for a quest across the globe to rescue his big sister.

  • The Curse of the Deadly 7

    Garth Jennings

    Paperback (Macmillan Children's Books, Sept. 1, 2020)
    Nelson Green has learned to live with the seven stinky monsters that were extracted from his soul. Sure, they sometimes get up to mischief and land him in trouble, but at least he hasn't had to fight any giant angry abominations in a while. But something still isn't right. Nelson's hair hasn't grown a single millimeter since the monsters were created. He hasn't got any taller, and his chewed off fingernails aren't growing back. Something strange is happening, and the Deadly 7 know more than they're letting on . . . But then someone else finds the soul extractor—someone with a grudge against Nelson. Soon Nelson has more to worry about than his fingernails: there's an army of angry monsters coming to get him, and his own monsters might not be there to help
