In the final installment, Nelson faces new challenges as he discovers strange changes in himself and confronts an army of monsters.

In The Curse of the Deadly 7, the thrilling conclusion to the beloved series, Nelson Green faces a new and unexpected challenge. Having learned to coexist with the seven peculiar monsters that were extracted from his soul, Nelson has enjoyed a relatively quiet life. However, he soon realizes that something is amiss; his hair hasn't grown, he hasn't gotten taller, and even his fingernails remain stubbornly short. As he grapples with these strange developments, the Deadly 7 seem to be hiding something important from him.

As the plot unfolds, a new threat emerges when someone discovers the soul extractor, igniting a chain of events that puts Nelson in grave danger. This mysterious antagonist harbors a personal vendetta against him, leading to an onslaught of monstrous adversaries. With an army of angry creatures on the horizon, Nelson must confront the possibility that his own monsters may not be able to assist him this time around. The stakes have never been higher, and the tension builds as the finale approaches.

The Curse of the Deadly 7 blends humor, action, and adventure in a captivating narrative that keeps readers engaged until the very last page. Garth Jennings, known for his work as the director of Sing, has crafted a story that resonates with middle-grade readers, offering both excitement and heart as Nelson navigates the complexities of friendship, bravery, and self-discovery in the face of overwhelming odds.
