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.

Wacky!
I wasn’t sure of this but I really enjoyed it - Kate Winslet is superb. Very Addams family with a bit of Dahl. Worth a listen.

Best story ever! (say 3 children!)
Ages 11, 9 & 7 plus their parents loved it. So much better than Walliams!

Creepy, insulting and heartwarming.
.... If that makes sense.. Kate Winslet does an exceptional job narrating this quirky, sweet story.

We loved this book as a family and listened to his on a long journey. Sadly only 1h and 43min! but would have loved more.
Kate Winslet was amazing as narrator.

Funny, fast and original
A brilliant short story, that’s bound to entertain the whole family, expertly read by Kate Winslet. Looking forward to listening to the second story in the series.
