Despite the title, the family featured in "Happy Family" is not happy at all. Mum Emma´s small bookstore is deep in the red, Dad Frank is completely overworked, Fay, the pubescent daughter, is failing her exams and Max, the son, is a hyper-intelligent boy, who therefore is bullied at school. To make matters worse, following a fancy dress party the entire Wishbone family is bewitched by Baba Yaga, a witch – now they have become a Vampire-Lady, a Frankenstein-like Monster, a Mummy and a Werewolf.
