The Weirdies: The Weirdest One of All

By: Michael Buckley

Narrated by: Helena Bonham Carter

At last, we have nearly reached the end of our grim tale. When the Handsome Lawyer proposes (gross, love), Barnacle, Melancholy, and Garlic do not react well, sparking a cross-country adventure to bring the man Miss Emily loves back home. Unfortunately, everywhere the triplets go, trouble follows, and in this case, so do a bunch of wild characters, making it hard to stay under the radar. All the while Mr. Weirdie and the Enchantress are holding Miss Emily captive, forcing her to teach them how to be good people. Will anyone get the happy ending they deserve? Or will all of these awful people end up where they started?

Everything

The story, the weird plot, the weird children, the narration, the breaking of the fourth wall, the whole series was brilliant!!!!

Funny

I'm 41 and enjoyed this series very much. Lots of pop culture references and I found myself giggling throughout.

The story was original and very entertaining and of course, it was red beautifully.

I love that the story could appeal to adults and children as well. I found myself as the adult really enjoying it too. I wouldn’t mind if there was another book to follow it up. I like the characters. They were very Addams family feel.

Great listen

This was a surprise! I loved this story. Really funny. And Helena Bonham Carter is awesome!!! Loved it!

Brilliantly fun!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this series. I stumbled upon it by accident and it hit all the right spots. If you love Roald Dhal, you will enjoy this tremendously.
