Beezlebub Preposteror is in trouble. It is New Year's Eve and in seven hours he must have fulfilled his contract for evil with the Prince of Darkness or face the consequences.
Together with his wicked aunt, Tyrannia Vampirella, he concocts a horrifying plan that could easily destroy the whole world before midnight. Only the gallant Mauricio di Mauro (feline extraodinaire) and Jacob Scribble (noble raven) stand between the world and disaster. Will they find the solution in time?
This is another delightful tale from the creator of The Neverending Story and Momo. Translated from the original German by Heike Schwarzbauer and Rick Takvorian, readers will delight in the inventive characterisations and the magical language, especially the notorious Telescope words so beloved by evil enchanters.
