Monster Mission

Written by Eva Ibbotson

Narrated by Julian Rhind-Tutt

Three children have been kidnapped by some mysterious, mad aunts and panic is spreading. But Myrtle, Coral and Etta are far from killers - they need the children to help them in a very caring mission. The secret island where they live is a sanctuary for strange and wonderful creatures - mermaids, selkies, the amazing boobrie bird, and even the great Kraken himself. The kidnapped children love their magical new life - but the Island of Monsters has become the target of some dangerous villians who want to turn it into a theme park.

Crazy characters and wildly funny adventures make Monster Mission by Eva Ibbotson a story to enjoy again and again. This wonderful audiobook edition is read aloud by actor Julian Rhind-Tutt.

Eva Ibbotson

Eva Ibbotson was born in Vienna in 1925 and moved to England with her father when the Nazis came into power. Ibbotson wrote more than twenty books for children and young adults, many of which garnered nominations for major awards for children's literature in the UK, including the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize and the Whitbread Prize. Eva's critically acclaimed Journey to the River Sea won the Smarties Gold Medal in 2001. Set in the Amazon, it was written in honour of her deceased husband Alan, a former naturalist. Imaginative and humorous, Eva's books often convey her love of nature, in particular the Austrian countryside, which is evident in works such as The Star Of Kazan and A Song For Summer. Eva passed away at her home in Newcastle on October 20th 2010. Her final book, One Dog and His Boy, was published in May 2011.

Reviews for Monster Mission

[Hardy Bin Mohamad · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Not great. Mediocre at best. But good enough to past the time.

This audiobook version of the book isn’t the complete book. There are parts of the book that were removed from this record. Overall the plot still is smooth and enjoyable.
