Meanwhile, Winchflat Flood has been watching old Frankenstein movies and has decided he wants to build a human of his own. Praise for The Flood series The Floods is The Addams Family with an edge. Book 1 in the series is funny, irreverent and gross in the way that appeals to boys. This is a book that is certain to grab the attention of many readers who enjoy humour and should be in school libraries. - Fiction Focus
