Product description
First in the bloody and brilliant Tales from Schwartzgarten series – a must for fans of Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket! Meet Osbert Brinkhoff, the unlikeliest of avengers. His is a tale of dark delights and ghastly goings-on, of injustice and revenge. The villains are vicious. The settings are sinister. And good does NOT always prevail…
Eleven-year-old Osbert seems to be in luck when he wins a scholarship to The Institute, a school for gifted children. But he soon discovers that its a sinister place whose wicked teachers are intent on evil. Terrorised and humiliated, Osbert vows to take a bloody revenge with the help of the beautiful genius Isabella. But can the Schwartzgarten Slayer bring down the evil Institute – and escape the long arm of the law? If you prefer cleavers to kittens and fiends to fairies, the grisly world of Schwartzgarten is the place for you!
