Resumen del Editor

This is a very, very sad story. The characters suffer terrible tragedies. People die in unspeakable ways. Only a truly horrible person would be amused by their misfortune.

Nevertheless, it is kind of funny.

My advice is that you listen to this all by yourself. People can be judgy.

If you’re a fan of A Series of Unfortunate Events, Edward Scissorhands, or the darkest bits of Roald Dahl, the Weirdie triplets - Barnacle, Garlic, and Melancholy - will feel like old friends. After being left behind when the entire estate of Deadeye Manor is packed up for a doomed vacation cruise, the triplets have to learn how to fend for themselves. (When a staff of 200 servants has taken care of your every need, even brushing your own teeth is a mountainous task.) From their time at the Our Lady of the Perpetual Side-Eye Orphanage to their adoptive home on picture-perfect Sunshine Circle, the Weirdies have a lot to learn about the world...but, at least, they have each other.

This needs to be made into a movie!!

I loved everything about this book! The story would make a great plot for an animation movie. Kate Winslet did an awesome job as a narrator.

Awesome and woefully hilarious

I wasn’t sure what to think when I saw the reading time was under 2 hours. But my 6 yr old daughter and I love reading/listening to “peculiar” storylines (and it was included with our membership) so we gave it a try. This story and narrator were absolutely AWESOME. It was hilarious and sad at the same time. Some of the story went over my daughter’s head but it was easy enough for her to follow. Just enough maturity that adults would enjoy the story as well. We are looking forward to the next installment :)

Fantastic Book

I am so happy I came across this delightful book. It reminds me of a cross between the Addams Family and Matilda. Kate Winslet did an amazing job at narration. I would highly recommend it.

Cute and Funny

I really enjoyed this short audible. lately, I've needed shorter, lighthearted stories that don't involve too much emotional turmoil. this performance was a fun, dark comedy and surprised me with how much I enjoyed it.
