Hale tells a folklore that enforces the idea of dealing with a problem instead of putting them off and making matters worse. The Fell family moved into a new house that came with a little devil. The Fells decided to trade the one devil for one housekeeper/devil remover extraordinaire, Ms. Phisto. Instead of a better deal, the Fells end up with hundreds and hundreds of devils who were brought into the house by Ms. Phisto. The Fells are able to make a deal and go back to their one, not-so-bad-after-all, little devil. no reviews | add a review
The Fell family gets frustrated with their house devil so they trade him, but when Ms. Phisto arrives they must try desperately to find the "simple contract" they signed. No library descriptions found. |

It's an odd little folktale about a family that moves into a house occupied by a little devil. When the devil pushes them too far, they strike a deal with another demon to get rid of him. Of course, this backfires. A "careful what you wish for" tale. Young children who think they want a "scary" story with "devils and demons" might find this the perfect fit. ( )
