Book description
Everyone has a Lifetime Deed Counter (LDC). It works like this:
You offer to help with the housework: Lifetime Good Deeds +1
You steal your little brother's sweets: Lifetime Bad Deeds +1
Looks straightforward, huh? But what if your every thought was
disputed by opposing forces of good and evil - by an angel wearing ray
bans (called Windleberry) and a demon in the form of a wart (called
Muddlespot)? And within your mind they were fighting a fierce battle
over your actions, a battle dictated by a game of poker?
When Muddlespot is promoted from a devil's janitor to special agent,
the pressure is on for him to infiltrate Sally Jones and make her Bad.
If he doesn't, it will be Very Bad for him. But as his mission leads
him down Sally's ear and into the deepest recesses of her mind, all
becomes unclear. Just what does it mean to be good? And can it
be good to be bad?
