The Adventures of Excelsior: The House of Surprises is a humorous story about disasters that overtake a family home.

Mum, Dad, and Jayjay, their curious five-year-old, go through an adventure coping with the mess, the smell, and finding ways to clean up the mess. A true story. In hindsight, we can laugh about it, and we are happy to share with our readers the misadventures of this unfortunate house on Excelsior.
