Book description
The Floods take on Wall Street and solve the global financial crisis in
the ninth book of their hilarious, bestselling adventures. The world is
in a recession and millions of people have lost millions of dollars. And
just when things are about to get even worse, the Floods set up Summer
School in New York and take control. Hooray, help is at hand - but as
they say, charity begins at home. So millions of people will probably
lose millions more dollars, but it will all work out fine in the end.
Well, for the Floods anyway. Hey, come on. They re witches and wizards,
not some sort of charity. Since he started writing and illustrating
