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
