Synopsis
The rag-tag bunch of orphans face their biggest challenge yet in this side-splitting sequel packed with mischief, quirky characters, and a daring rescue mission.
The Orphans of St Halibut's: Pamela's Revenge continues the hilarious adventures of the orphans after St Halibut's has burned to the ground. With the sinister Ministry of FUN – Forms, Underlining and Notices – on their case, they must make a new home and protect it from those who want to smash it (and them) to smithereens.
But their tight-knit family is unravelling: Tig and Stef can't see eye to eye, and all Herc can think about is cooking the perfect marshmallows. Worst of all, just when they need her sharp horns and unpredictable temper most, is Pamela giving up the fight?
Dive into the world of The Orphans of St Halibut's for a tale of big trouble, spectacular mischief, and a cast of unforgettable characters. Perfect for fans of dark humour, gothic settings, and stories of unlikely friendships.
