A Hilarious Book

This is a hilarious book. It is about a family, but not an ordinary one. The mother is always away training to be a witch. The father is the son of an Italian Crime lord. The children, Titus, age 12, Pandora, age 10, and Damp, the baby of the family, are anything but ordinary. And the family pets include Sab, a griffin, Ffup, a dragon, Knot, a yeti, and Tock the crocodile. About the only normal person in the house is Mrs. McLachlan, the nanny hired by Titus and Pandora's mother when their father walks out of the house and doesn't return. At least, she seems normal...
This book is witty and hilarious. The characters are great, and the plot is very exciting. I highly recommend this book.
