The British author became famous as a world-famous young adult writer with his eleven-year-old hero, Eddie Dickens. Eddie's adventures have been translated into 34 languages to date. And what can be attributed to such success? Although the hero is beset by all sorts of madness and misadventures, the author redeems himself to the reader with plenty of humor and an excellent writing style, which is just as perfectly captured in the translation by Sandra Baumgartner Naylor. In The Terrible End, the first book in the series, which so far has six titles, Eddie's parents fall ill with a suspicious illness that makes them turn yellow, become wrinkled at the edges and smell like old hot water bottles. Eddie is therefore sent to his aunt and uncle's home, The Terrible End, where a crazy adventure awaits Eddie. (adapted from Bukla)
