A wildly inventive story sure to delight fans of Roald Dahl and David Walliams

What should you do when something is troubling you? Tell your parents, of course. Everyone knows that. But what if they are so caught up in their own worries that they have no time to listen? Then there is only one thing left to do: summon your guardian angel.
Jáchym’s guardian angel, however, is anything but ordinary. She is Vilomína, a fashion-obsessed fairy who spends so much time primping that she nearly arrives too late to save him. And that is only the beginning of a wonderfully bonkers adventure, with an entire family and everyone living in a seventy-room castle in need of rescue.
