Rating:
|
When both of Eddie Dickens’s parents catch a disease that makes them turn yellow, go a bit crinkly around the edges, and smell of hot water bottles, it’s agreed he should go and stay with relatives at their house, Awful End. Unfortunately for Eddie, those relatives are Mad Uncle Jack and Even Madder Aunt Maud. . . .

A short and quick read written with middle grade readers in mind. With a similar style as to “A Series of Unfortunate Events “, this book (being a first in a trilogy) offers a cute, silly, dark and dreary tale of a boy named Eddie who was sent away to stay with his Mad Uncle Jack and Even Madder Aunt Maud.
Despite it’s silliness and fun writing style, I hold back my higher star rating mainly for it’s lack of uniqueness. In comparison to similar books that are fun and darkly-written-for-kids, I felt that the scenes could have been a little bit more thought-out and creative in order to make this book stand out from the rest.
