Monster Mission (Abridged) Audiobook

" a bit different but interesting, helped Kayleigh do a project on it.. "

" its been a while but i really liked it when i read it. definitely random fantasy! haha :) "

" sorta stange "

" I've read this book before, I love Eva Ibbotson. Nice young adult literature. "

" I am wavering between 3 and 4 stars. I really like Eva Ibbotson's writing, so I would like to give it 4 stars. But I just wasn't that excited about the book. I think the thing that bothered me most was that the aunts kidnapped children. Sure, I know why they did it. But I still didn't like it. And I didn't feel particularly tied to any of the characters, which is disappointing. The aunts were the best-developed characters, but they were also kidnappers, so I couldn't get too emotionally attached to them. The other characters that stood out were the seal (who is a great character, probably my favorite in the book) and various other magical creatures. The children were pretty flat, but likable. The message of the book was good - save the environment and whatnot. So, it was a pleasant read. If I had not been bothered by the whole kidnapping thing, I probably would have love it. "

" Very good fantasy. "

" As they get older, several sisters decide that they must kidnap children and bring them to their secluded island home to help with the work of caring for an assortment of unusual sea creatures. I loved it that the aunts thought not shaving their legs made them stronger. "

" It was interesting and fun! But some of the parts were confusing. "

" It was actually very good! "

" Plot doesn't move at a consistent pace as it does in other Ibbotson books. And it gets a little preachy about the environment. But there is morecharacter development than in other Ibbotson books. "

" REALLY good too, i just think Eva Ibbotson is a fabulous children's writer. Like most of her books, this book also has some magical characters, and i remember really, really liking this book too. "

" A great plot but it left something to be desired. "

" Kindly Aunts kidnap three kids to help care for mystical animals. Starts slow -- kids will be ready to read it maybe next year. "

" This is a really good book about some "kidnappers". "

" I didn't get into this one quite as much as some of the other books by Ibbotson that I've read, but it's still quite entertaining. Strong environmental message. "

" This book was pretty random, making it fun to read because there was no way to tell what was going to happen next. "

" I laughed out loud reading this one. "

" really good, used to be a favorite of mine. "

" This was a cute book. I almost lost interest in it but I'm glad I stuck it out. Odder than I expected. "

" You have to read this fantastical but realistic book. The imagery is outstanding!! The story is insanely fun and charming. "

" Love this book. Recommended by an avid fourth-grade reader. "

" i loved this book when i read it in forth grade. "

" I enjoyed this book the world that Eva Ibbotson creates are mind-boggling. I really loved it. "

" Ok book. For younger children (which I typically love) and I would read to my cousins. I liked the idea that everyone has to chip in and take care of things. Chores are healthy, people!! "

" Its a great mythical story, weird at times, but good! "

" I really enjoyed this book as a child. "

" A fabulous bok. hard not to like. but then again, i like everything. "

" It was interesting and fun! But some of the parts were confusing. "

" Love this book. Recommended by an avid fourth-grade reader. "

" As they get older, several sisters decide that they must kidnap children and bring them to their secluded island home to help with the work of caring for an assortment of unusual sea creatures. I loved it that the aunts thought not shaving their legs made them stronger. "

" I liked this a lot! It is a good book and every one should read it!My favorite character is the baby Kraken because he is cute.EVERY ONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!It is about a magical island. "

" This is definitely a children's book, but I enjoyed it. I bought it for my nieces. "

" Simply insipiring. It teachs you that most humans are inhuman and selfish. That we should be concentrating on stoping pollution instead of worrying about what to wear. "

" This is the awesomest book ever. Everybody should read it!! "

" I read this book in 5th grade and it is still one of my favorites. It is currently being turned into a movie. "

" This book was pretty random, making it fun to read because there was no way to tell what was going to happen next. "

" it wasn't the best book in the world, but it was a read. I don't think I'd ever pick it up again. "

" I can not begin to say how much i LOVE this book. It is very entertaining for fantasy readers, but not science fictional. It also is set in london and it's perspective shows it. This is a great book for everybody. And though it is really easy to read it's plot is fantabulous!! "
