A House Called Dreadful End ~ Dreadful Acts ~ Terrible Times

Hardcover (Henry Holt March 15, 2002)
Book 1: "When both of Eddie's parents catch a disease that makes them turn yellow, go a bit crinkly around the edges, and smell of old hot-water bottles, it's agreed he should go and stay with relatives at their house, Awful End. Unfortunately for Eddie, those relatives are Mad Uncle Jack and Even Madder Aunt Maud...." ~ Book 2: Eddie narrowly avoids being blown up, trampled by horses, hit by a hot-air balloon, and arrested - only to find himself falling head over heels for a girl with a face like a camel's and into the hands of a murderous gang of escaped convicts, up on the misty moors, who have a 'little job' for him to do." ~ Book 3: "Eddie, our steadfast hero, finds himself en route to North America aboard the sailing ship 'Pompous Pig' along with a cargo hold full of left shoes, the world-famous Dog's Bone Diamond, and some of the most disreputable traveling companions anyone might have the misfortune to share a berth with."
