When Septimus inherits a magical, treasure-finding Hairy Hand from his uncle, life suddenly becomes a lot more exciting - and dangerous! A gruesomely funny tale to horrify and haunt you. Continue at your own risk!
Will Sept open the box? Can he solve the mystery of who he is? Is he brave enough to face what he discovers?
Welcome to the spine-chilling story of Septimus, who feels he has never belonged. For starters, he doesn’t have a normal name, like Garp, Darg or Blaarg – good, honest names that sound like you have swallowed something pointy or sneezed into custard. Then there are his parents, Mr & Mrs Plog, who will steal anything not nailed down and wouldn’t care if he fell down a well or got eaten by Wargs. That is, until he inherits something strange and scary from his uncle. A Box. Not just any ‘manky old box’ (Mr Plog). Nor is it filled with precious ‘jewelsies’ (Mrs Plog). No, this box contains something far more dark and mysterious, far more hideous and horrific. . . a living, moving. . .HAIRY HAND!
Tremble as the macabre Hairy Hand leads the Plogs to buried treasure and riches beyond their (admittedly limited) imagining! Shudder as the magical Hairy Hand attempts to show Septimus his true destiny! Watch (through your fingers) as Septimus’s fortunes rise and fall, and he attempts to answer everyone’s favourite question: Who am I?
