But how long will they be able to keep the humans at bay - even with the help of the monster Jekub?

Review Slapstick romp laced with some sharp, satirical barbs,A well-written comic fantasy that blends an off-beat but believable plot with strong but quirky characters, lots of entertaining adventures and a liberal dose of humour ...Highly recommended
