A creepy Victorian house, secretive aunties, and a great escape combine in this debut that is part Mysterious Benedict Society, part Roald Dahl, and all quirky, smart, hilarious storytelling. Join the League...

Anastasia is a completely average almost-eleven-year-old. That is, UNTIL her parents die in a tragic vacuum-cleaner accident. UNTIL she's rescued by two long-lost great-aunties. And UNTIL she's taken to their delightful and, er, "authentic" Victorian home, St. Agony's Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

But something strange is going on at the asylum. Anastasia soon begins to suspect that her aunties are not who they say they are. So when she meets Ollie and Quentin, two mysterious brothers, the three join together to plot their great escape!

Critic reviews

"[C]oncocting an eerie setting positively made for Unfortunate Events, Grant threads her narrative with direct addresses to Readers and delicious turns of phrase... A yummy debut." ( Kirkus Reviews, December 2014)

We finished off our summer with some trips. And like usual, we enjoy listening to a good book while traveling. I put on a book at the time that didn't start out too well, knowing I had to act fast so the natives didn't get restless, I quickly found something else in my library, The League of Beastly Dreadfuls. We have a good age range of kids and this had us hooked from the get go! It is wonderfully written, with a lot of humor and great character development. If you enjoy fantasy, a little magic, and lots of mystery, you will love this series. We finished the first book, not knowing it was the first in a series, and quickly purchased the second book (which is also fantastic) to finish off our trip. I'll leave a review for that book also. I'm in the animation field and I could envision the characters and scenes vividly as we listened along. Holly Grant has done a great job.
And the narrator...AMAZING! Rosalyn Landor is remarkable at narrating and the different voices, truly a gift. Great book, great narrator, was a winning combo!

Wonderful unique story, lots of humor & mystery

Great book. The narrator makes the story come to life. The characters are enticing and I would love to explore the main setting. Great book for preteen and older. I am 44 and loved this story. Can't wait to listen to the next book.
