Samil lives with a super-clever family of raccoons who are always hatching wild plans to take over the kingdom. From building a giant flying nappy to plotting a wicked ice-cream disaster, their ideas sound brilliant… at least to them! Join Samil as he watches each crazy scheme go wrong in funny and surprising ways, and decide for yourself whether this “evil” family is really so scary after all.

This book is about
There are two stories in this book. The first story is The Great Flying Nappy Plot. In this story, the Malice family make a great big nappy to soaked up all the rain, so that there would be no rain for the kingdom. Birds make holes in the nappy and the water comes out like rain. In the next story, Wicked Ice Cream Sunday, the King is having an ice cream party, but the Malice family do not like ice cream. They use a shiny metal sheet to reflect the sun onto the ice cream making it melt.

The main characters are
Samil, his family and the King.

My favourite part of the book is
The ice-cream slide.

I would also like to say
The King is a badger and the Malice family are raccoons.
