Every day, five of the Flood children travel halfway round the world to Quicklime College, the ultimate school for witches and wizards. There's no time for any of that silly flying around on broomsticks at Quicklime's. Sports day is coming up, and before you even wonder how four-legged Satanella copes with the three-legged race, there's a bigger problem to consider. Orkward Warlock, the vilest boy in the school, hates the big happy Flood family, and together with his sidekick, The Toad, he's plotting to kill the Floods - on sports day.
