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.

It takes more than great storytelling to be the right fit for each type of road trip. What works for a cross-country adventure may not be quite right for a quick day trip. What you listen to with your significant other may not be (read: is definitely not) the same as what you listen to with a carload of kids. And when driving solo, sometimes what you want is a little company. No matter what kind of journey you have coming up, we’ve got you covered.

Hilarious Dark Humor • Quirky Unique Characters • Engaging Storyline • Heartwarming Message • Clever Writing

Imagine the kids from A Series of Unfortunate Events with massive brain disorders and no social skill whatever.

If you have ever felt different, you will be able to identify with the kids a bit. If you have never felt that way, please listen so you can get an idea how others sometimes feel.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope a sequel is published soon.

Weird but wonderful

Loved this little love nugget. My kids and I listened to on our school commute. It was like Series of Unfortunate events, but with a little sharper snark. And more heart, too. I actually found myself getting choked up a couple of times. Narration was fabulous. I went around talking like "Garlic" for a week because it made my kids laugh. Can't wait for more! Hope Kate Winslet will also narrate those.

So freaking cute and moving

It’s not always easy for me to find a good read. This was definitely One of the most fun books I have ever listened to. It allowed me to channel my inner child and definitely had a lot of laughs. I was always on the edge of my seat considering the children in the book were extravagant and full of crazy surprises. This book was so amazing i definitely recommend it for all ages!

A great book

I laughed A LOT! I have a gallows humor. Blame life, blame healthcare, whatever. Kate did a great job. The writing was funny. If a stick resides in your arse, skip this one.

I am clearly awful

This audio book was short, less than two hours, but it was just what I needed!! I laughed at the children's escapades and yes, even at some of the miserable things that happened! Kate Winslet brought the book to life & did a fantastic job doing it!! She was hilarious, IMHO. I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who wants a laugh during these unusual times!!

Just What I Needed!
