When Dolly goes off to Irish College, she leaves her brother Sandy in charge of Princess Snowflake. But the thing about guinea pigs is that you kind of need to feed them. Or else - Did you ever hear that telling a nightmare makes it fade away? It doesn't. Not here anyway. Welcome to the Nightmare Club's Halloween Sleepover. You might not last till morning. When Dolly goes off to Irish College, she leaves her brother Sandy in charge of Princess Snowflake. But the thing about guinea pigs is that you kind of need to feed them. Or else - Annie Graves is twelve years old, and she has no intention of ever growing up. She is, conveniently, an orphan, and lives at an undisclosed address in the Glasnevin area of Dublin with her pet toad, Much Misunderstood, and a small black kitten, Hugh Shalby Nameless. You needn't think she goes to school - pah! - or has anything as dull as brothers and sisters or hobbies, but let's just say she keeps a large cauldron on the stove.
