I don't usually enjoy "funny" books for teens. This is the exception. Muddle is a devil - a very minor one; Sally Jones is good. All attempts to turn her from the straight and narrow have failed. So Muddlespot is sent; his adversary, the redoubtable, perfect Windleberry. The synopsis sounds incredible - but it works. And if Muddlespot is the best character, well the devil always did have the best tunes.
