Summary |
Take one part Roald Dahl, add a pinch of Mysterious Benedict Society and a dash of Lemony Snicket. Mix with Holly Grant's unforgettable storytelling and a double helping of wit and humor, and you get this quirky and hilarious new middle-grade series! Join the League ... After their narrow escape from a NEFARIOUS kidnapping ring, Anastasia, Ollie, and Quentin (a.k.a. The League of Beastly Dreadfuls!) are looking forward to a relaxing vacation from DANGER! INTRIGUE! CATASTROPHE! Sadly, they're not going to get one. Because Anastasia makes the SHOCKING discovery that her family is at the heart of a centuries-old scandal-a SCANDAL that began with THE DASTARDLY DEED. Before you can say "Bob's your uncle," the Dreadfuls have another MYSTERY to solve: the Case of the Missing Grandfather. Can our INTREPID LEAGUE track down Anastasia's Vanished Gramps' Gentle Reader, BEWARE! The trail of clues leads to spine-tingling surprises. (Catastrophe! Magic! Opera! Stinky cheese! Science fairs!) Read on if you DARE! Praise for the League of Beastly Dreadfuls: "WONDERFULLY WITTY. It reminds me of Roald Dahl's The Twits only in an insane asylum."--Chris Grabenstein, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library * "A yummy debut."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred "This adventure is filled with enough mystery and humor to keep readers wondering what will happen next. A solid debut reminiscent of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events." -School Library Journal "Just the right mix of humor, magic, maliciousness, and suspense" -Booklist "It's clear that Anastasia is anything but average, and her adventures are just beginning." -Publishers Weekly. |
