Publisher's Summary
This is a very, very sad story. The characters suffer terrible tragedies. People die in unspeakable ways. Only a truly horrible person would be amused by their misfortune.
Nevertheless, it is kind of funny.
My advice is that you listen to this all by yourself. People can be judgy.
If you’re a fan of A Series of Unfortunate Events, Edward Scissorhands, or the darkest bits of Roald Dahl, the Weirdie triplets - Barnacle, Garlic, and Melancholy - will feel like old friends. After being left behind when the entire estate of Deadeye Manor is packed up for a doomed vacation cruise, the triplets have to learn how to fend for themselves. (When a staff of 200 servants has taken care of your every need, even brushing your own teeth is a mountainous task.) From their time at the Our Lady of the Perpetual Side-Eye Orphanage to their adoptive home on picture-perfect Sunshine Circle, the Weirdies have a lot to learn about the world...but, at least, they have each other.

interesting
The kids loved it. They said it was weird like them. There were some funny moments and the kids were kept engaged.
Kate Winslet is so good as the narrator

An excellent and utterly weird story
How delightfully weird! I was equal measures disgusted, entertained and perturbed. 10/10. A lovely performance by Kate Winslet too.

a change
the biggest shortcoming was it's too short. I couldn't figure out whether or not this was a parody. In any case it was entertaining.

So good.
It has so much emotion put into it and amazing plot twists. I tried not to laugh but I just couldn’t help it. 10 out of 10. Would definitely recommend

I loved it :-)
Brilliant, thoroughly enjoyable giggle, guffaw, chortle and snort book for all ages, probably a good read aloud for extraordinary grandparents with imaginative explanation theories.
Really really looking forward to a book two.
Kate Winslett is an excellent narrator :-)
More please Michael :-)

Give us more Weirdies, Please!
So good. Probably because it’s different and a bit dark and oh so funny, we all love it. I’m trying to get the kids to read and listen to something else but it’s the weirdies on rotation in our house at the moment. Please give us more soon!!
