Preschool teacher Lizzie Brown is thrilled to be meeting
her biological grandmother. An adopted child, Lizzie had
wondered about her biological parents and what they were
like. But the thrill lasts about five seconds, until her
Harley-driving grandmother locks her in the bathroom and
starts chanting. And pulling smelly concoctions out of
Smucker's jars.
Lizzie suddenly finds herself in a world she never even
knew existed. A world full of griffins, werewolves,
witches. And, oh God, did her grandmother say that Lizzie
is a demon slayer? Surely she's kidding.
But no, the sweetly innocent world of preschool is left
behind as Lizzie travels into a world where she's expected
to slay demons. The appearance of Dimitri, her "protector"
(whatever that means!), adds confusion to the chaos.
Ms. Fox brings a light touch to the demon world, offering
up a slate of characters that will make you laugh. Despite
its somewhat serious subject -- I mean, really, demons are
nothing to joke about -- THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER is a
fun poolside read for the summer. Enjoy.
It's never a good day when an ancient demon shows up on your
toilet bowl. For Lizzie Brown, that's just the beginning.
Soon her hyperactive terrier starts talking, and her
long-lost biker witch Grandma is hurling Smuckers jars
filled with magic. Just when she thinks she's seen it all,
Lizzie learns she's a demon slayer-and all hell is after
her.
Of course, that's not the only thing after her.
Dimitri Kallinikos, a devastatingly handsome shape-shifting
griffin needs Lizzie to slay a demon of his own. But how do
you talk a girl you've never met into going straight to the
underworld? Lie. And if that doesn't work, how dangerous
could a little seduction be...
