Humbug

You, Sidney Widdershins, are sent to your Grandad's for the school holidays. Why is Jasper the dentist so desperate that Grandad should sell the manor? * Why has Grandad hidden a time machine in the cellar? * Why does the octopus insist on performing the ancient ritual of Wubble-A-Gloop with you? * What doesn't Kevin the clockwork shark like about your haircut? * What would you* do with a trombone, a terrapin and half a pound of lard? Yes, quite.

All this, and more, is revealed in Humbug.
