Trouble is brewing again for Miku and her friends, Cait and Alex. There's a violent quilt in Alex's bedroom and a mystery visitor has been in the Takeshitas' house, drinking tea out of their best cups. And then Kazu is stolen for the second time. Miku, Cait, Alex and the little Filth Licker must solve the trail of clues leading them to an invisible house full of demons, the home of Nurarihyon, the Master of the Demons. But is he really the evil one they have come to fight, or is someone or something else controlling him. With only a bag of fish-heads to protect them, the children and the Filth Licker meet their final challenge in the frozen palace of the Yuki-Onna, the Snow Woman, where they find Kazu imprisoned in a cage of ice, and where the Snow Woman is determined to destroy them…
The thing was rippling far above us. It had no arms, no legs, no head, no eyes, though it seemed to know exactly where we were. And it was definitely a quilt…
Things are looking more dangerous than ever… There’s a murderous quilt spirit in Alex’s bedroom. And then Kazu is kidnapped – again. Miku, Cait and Alex must follow the cryptic clues to get him back, and defeat the most evil demon of all. Armed with a peculiar poem, a broken teacup, sardine-heads and a seed pod, they venture through the invisible wall into the House of the Demons.
But who is the supreme leader of the demons? Not the ghoul-woman with barbed hair, or even the malicious Demon of Heaven. Someone else has Kazu trapped and will stop at nothing to capture Miku….
