The Iremongers are a mean and cruel family, robust and hardworking, living in the Heaps, a vast sea of lost and discarded items.

A storm is brewing over Heap House. The Iremongers are growing restless and the whispers are getting louder. When Clod meets Lucy, a girl newly arrived from the city, everything changes. The secrets that bind Heap House together begin to unravel to reveal a dark truth that threatens to destroy Clod's world.

I really enjoy this story and the narration is well done. Ben Allen, especially, is able to voice characters so that you can practically see each one! There are times the name repetition gets pretty loud, but no complaints otherwise. This is one of the audiobooks I return to again and again, when I don't feel well, when I want comfort, etc.

Fun Listen

I loved how you as an observer/reader seem to be learning at the same pace the characters figure out and learn their very odd circumstances. Meaning the heroes are just as clueless and lost as we are at every turn. Lots of rules that don’t make sense to the outsider. And being an insider does not look good either!

A great journey into a strange world.

I have new favorites - a new favorite author and two beyond-phenomenal narrators. Wow I have so much respect for truly wonderful writing. So many books on here, some with 4.5 stars, are abysmally written. Mr. Edward Carey is an exceptionally brilliant writer - in creativity, in character development, in artistry. That itself is a joy to experience brilliant writing. So much so that I ventured into a genre that I otherwise would not have, just because it was so well done. And these two narrators - some of the best I have ever had the joy to listen to - (and as we know a great book can be ruined by even mediocre narration) These two - Ben Allen and Bea Holland bring this to life with equal creativity, character development, artistry. Bravo to everyone!!!

Masterful

Well I didn't understand this book or its ending(?) If I was not the kind of person that has to finish what I start(in case it gets better) I would have returned it. That being said I wish I would have returned it. I have read and enjoyed Edward Carey just not this one.
However I did enjoy the narration.

very strange! for kids?
