The Floods is a series of books all written by Colin Thompson. You can always tell a book by Colin Thompson because he does his own illustrations and they are weird - but in a good way. The picture are like the story, which is also weird, in a good way.
The Floods is about a weird family called... The Floods. The family has a father, mother, children and dogs, this sounds like a normal family but this family is all witches and wizards. Even weirder, the dogs can talk, maybe because they used to be children. One of the dog-kids was created out of electricity. On top of all that Valla (the oldest child) drinks blood.
I think there are 9 books in the whole series, I've read 5 so far. They are chapter books but have lots of great pictures throughout the story. These books are creepy but funny and I will read the whole series. Each book is titled from a popular TV shows, the first one is Neighbours.
Out of five dolls, I rate this series...
I'm also going to read Colin Thompson's new series called The Dragons.
The cover AND the title are different in America! They've also changed the names so they aren't names of TV shows anymore! This is what the Amazon book looks like:
And here is a paper doll link, if you click on it, you can print it and cut it out!
