Things take a depressing turn at Deadeye Manor after the shocking return of Mr. Weirdie and the Enchantress. Barnacle Melancholy and Garlic are put to the treacherous task of finding a lost family fortune buried somewhere within the manor, only to awaken some vengeful spirits with a diabolical plan all their own. Meanwhile, Miss Emily has decided that disguising her sunny personality as a wretched criminal is the best way to rescue the triplets, only to find herself in a high-stakes roller-boogie contest with her most loathsome enemy. Listen at your own risk, and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

This series never disappoints. They are written and delightfully funny. Helena Bonham Carter’s narration was flawless.

We're big fans of The Weirdies series over here, and were surprised when we started the audiobook and there was a different narrator. We love Kate Winslet and I couldn't place the new voice until I went back and read the new narrator is none other than Helena Bonham Carter!!! The story explained the narrator change in such a clever way that totally fit in with the series' vibe. The plot of this installment is hilarious and ridiculous (roller boogie skate-off!) while maintaining its dark, yet kid appropriate tone.

I’m really picky about narrators and don’t care for most of them which makes it a total joy to say I loved the woman who did this.

She was so inventive and talented that I stopped midway to see who it was and was happy to see Helena Bonham Carter’s name. Splendid job, girl!

The story is such a quirky, funny and bizarre creation that I enjoyed it throughout. Dandy job!

My children and I absolutely love this series, though we where disappointed to find it had a new narrator. Don’t get me wrong. Helena Bonham. Carter is amazing, but we were already invested in the voices, life, and spirit that Kate Winslet infused into the story, hoping she’ll make her way back!

Love this series!

Loved how the narrator was tied in - she had a tough act to follow, and the imposter angle was brilliant. Listening with my son, was fun to play the referenced songs for him, so he could understand the humor. Overall, great listen!

The humor- funniest Weirdies so far!

I’ve listened to the whole series and will continue if they put out more. It’s funny, absurd, and even a little disturbing at times. As someone in their 50s, I wouldn’t recommend it for kids too young.

Fun series

I was bummed Kate Winslet didn’t get to narrate this final novella, but HBC gives a great performance and I appreciate the jokes about the narrator change. The Weirdies have the makings for a humorous mini series…here’s hoping!

Funny finale

Books 1 and 2 were my favorite. I also thought that Kate Winslett delivered a more dynamic performance!! She impressed me! Helena Bonham Carter’s performance in book 3 was surprisingly more flat and monotoned, but not bad.

Great Series

HBC did an excellent job voicing this quirky story (reminded me of Wes Anderson's movies - strange and whimsical and odd and charming).
