Description

The Deadly 7 is a monster adventure by Garth Jennings, writer and director of animated movie Sing, and is packed full of hilarious illustrations.

'Funny, weird and the perfect mix of dark and light, this is a fantastic new voice in middle-grade fiction. I loved it!' - Robin Stevens, bestselling author of Murder Most Unladylike.


One night, deep in the catacombs of St Paul's Cathedral, eleven-year-old Nelson stumbles across a strange and ancient machine, which accidentally extracts the seven deadly sins from his soul in the form of living breathing, grumpy, smelly monsters. Suddenly he's stuck with seven angry, sneaky, greedy, vain, adorable, thieving, farting new friends, who help him form the best (and weirdest) plan ever: to find and rescue his missing beloved big sister . . .



The Deadly 7 is a monster adventure by Garth Jennings, writer and director of animated movie Sing,and is packed full of hilarious illustrations.

Reviews
Anarchic, original, hilarious fun. * Metro *
A zany page-turner. * Observer *
Packed with the sort of perilous adventure and icky humour that 9+ kids will love. * Independent *
Written with style and boundless imaginative power, and illustrated throughout by the author, The Deadly 7 are simply drop-dead fantastic! * Lancashire Evening Post *
Garth's debut children's novel exudes so much confidence and bravura. . . Nelson's seven monsters are inspired comic creations, and readers will thoroughly enjoy this nutty adventure. Garth Jennings has illustrated the book too and there are numerous black and white line illustrations to add to the appeal. He deserves credit too for the authorial voice, an omniscient narrator that brought to mind E. Nesbit for me. * Books For Keeps *
An uproarious romp, and though the Seven would deny it, the book has a heart too. * The Bookbag *
The Deadly 7 is one of the cleverest and funniest middle grade books you will read this year. * BookZone4Boys *
Highly imaginative and wonderfully told. * Parents In Touch *
Adventurous, imaginative and slightly bonkers (well, aren't all the best books), The Deadly 7 is as refreshing and funny as you'd expect from the guy who wrote and directed Son of Rambow. * Dad.info *
This has got to be one of the funniest books I have read, I found myself giggling the whole way through and didn't really want the story to end. The Deadly 7 is a fantastic, action packed book that I would rate as a five star read. I loved the cover and illustrations inside the book, they really add to the story and help bring the monsters to life. * Bookbabblers *
Warm and funny with a high yuck factor. * The Bookseller *
Funny, weird and the perfect mix of dark and light, this is a fantastic new voice in middle grade fiction. I loved it! * Robin Stevens *

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
