About this listen

Things take a depressing turn at Deadeye Manor after the shocking return of Mr. Weirdie and the Enchantress. Barnacle Melancholy and Garlic are put to the treacherous task of finding a lost family fortune buried somewhere within the manor, only to awaken some vengeful spirits with a diabolical plan all their own. Meanwhile, Miss Emily has decided that disguising her sunny personality as a wretched criminal is the best way to rescue the triplets, only to find herself in a high-stakes roller-boogie contest with her most loathsome enemy. Listen at your own risk, and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Love this series!

My children and I absolutely love this series, though we where disappointed to find it had a new narrator. Don’t get me wrong. Helena Bonham. Carter is amazing, but we were already invested in the voices, life, and spirit that Kate Winslet infused into the story, hoping she’ll make her way back!

The humor- funniest Weirdies so far!

Loved how the narrator was tied in - she had a tough act to follow, and the imposter angle was brilliant. Listening with my son, was fun to play the referenced songs for him, so he could understand the humor. Overall, great listen!

I like that it has good plot twists but I don't understand why they need the parents to keep surviving 🤑🤷

Absolutely LOVE this series!

My kids LOVE this series! From book one the stories and narrator have been hilarious, and interesting! Our attention was held the whole time! My kids are already asking when the next one will be available. One of our favorite parts of this story was the Narrator twist! Kate Winslet, Helena Bohnam Carter both make this story come alive so well! Looking forward to the next book!

Maybe This Is a Bit Too Weird? Nope, It's Perfect!

We're big fans of The Weirdies series over here, and were surprised when we started the audiobook and there was a different narrator. We love Kate Winslet and I couldn't place the new voice until I went back and read the new narrator is none other than Helena Bonham Carter!!! The story explained the narrator change in such a clever way that totally fit in with the series' vibe. The plot of this installment is hilarious and ridiculous (roller boogie skate-off!) while maintaining its dark, yet kid appropriate tone.

What a Gas, Start to Finish!

I’m really picky about narrators and don’t care for most of them which makes it a total joy to say I loved the woman who did this.

She was so inventive and talented that I stopped midway to see who it was and was happy to see Helena Bonham Carter’s name. Splendid job, girl!

The story is such a quirky, funny and bizarre creation that I enjoyed it throughout. Dandy job!
