What happens in Vol. 6:
Getting Otto’s parents out of prison is proving to be harder than anyone had expected. Despite the help of his best friend, Harry the Grim Reaper, Otto’s test teleportation object Vincent keeps ending up in the dingy afterlife pub The Jellyfish instead of in Malcatraz. To take their minds off it all, Auntie Sharon organises a skiing holiday for the whole gang. But no sooner have they hit the slopes than Harry finds himself having to pull off some pretty hair-raising manoeuvres. Somebody seems to be following him...
