I had mixed feelings about the 3rd instalment of Something Wickedly Weird. I was expecting something about Stanley's 'gloomy industrial town' and holidays at the beginning and some of the catching up was a bit clunky. I was more aware of it being a book for primary aged children than the previous two. And at this stage after all the previous adventures, I find the notion of Mrs Corelli the housekeeper telling Stanley off and being the disciplinarian redundant - especially after what Stanley achi...
I'm really starting to love these books! The writing is fantastic, the dialogue is witty, the illustrations are great! All around, the high quality of these books make wonderful children's books. Thank you, Chris Mould, for writing WELL WRITTEN literature for children! You are awesome!
Love all of them i read 3 of them so far
Could have done with a little more action, but there were plenty of surprises in the story that kept Seth and I turning pages.
This was the very first chapter book I read with my girls. We go to the library every 3 weeks and check out books. Usually its mostly picture books for them since they are 3 and 4 years old. Last trip, my youngest picked this one out. I hesitated at first but she was very adamant on picking this one. Then I remembered something I saw a few days before that reading has no limits, so this book we read.I did love the mystery of this book and all the weird story behind it. The storyline was good. Th...
In book three of the series, the power of the Ibis is drawing forth the sinister spirits of long dead pirates, including the evil Angel Cuzco. Stanley and Daisy prepare to protect Crampton Rock with the help of the gypsies, clever planning, and a bit of luck. The plot action moves at an uneven pace and is a bit scarier than previous books. Readers unfamiliar with the storyline may wish to read the first two books before reading this one.
Läste den på svenska då. Den här gången med zombiepirater!
I very much enjoyed the first two books in this series and was curious to see if this third volume was as enjoyable as its predecessors. I am happy to report that the series has lost none of its charm and ripping thrills.In the first volume of this series we met Stanley Buggles, who is a smart, courageous, inquisitive, and clever young hero. The setting, the isolated island of Crampton Rock, is just right, with lots of odd residents and hidden secrets. The supporting characters are sometimes cra...
Stanley Buggles is back at Crampton Rock and something BIG is coming to Candlestick Hall. Can Stanley and Daisy once again save the day?The third entry in the Something Wickedly Weird series brings Stanley and Daisy face to face with the undead. The Ibis, a magical token that had been concealed in the belly of a mounted pike, has been exposed to water and triggered the Awakening, a call to all the pirate undead. Hoardes of pirate corpses rise from their graves, be they on land or at sea, and all...
I was excited for the Awakening to be in full swing and Angel Cuzco was intimidating. His character could have been utilized a lot more to enliven the story. I was disappointed towards the end. I felt it was anti-climactic. Without giving up spoilers I will say that the anticipation was mounting and then it flopped, ending too quickly to enjoy it. I was amused by how clever Stanley was. Some significant events took place that I enjoyed because they were surprising.
Malcolm says, "I liked it because I really like caskets. Whatever was pirates, I liked. I liked Angel Cuzco, who was the fiercest of all pirates. Now I need to eat some pie. I'll do more interviews later."
A good example of "show, don't tell", or rather, a bad example. This is more "tell lots and don't show".
very good
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️for Something Wickedly Weird: The Silver Casket by Chris Mould. Stanley and Daisy meet ghosts and have to protect The Ibis from the threat of hoards of undead treasure seekers.
