Publisher Description
Nobody wants to adopt the Shluffmuffin twins. Wally’s feet stink something awful, and Cheyenne is allergic to everything. Then why are the Mandible sisters so eager to take them home? And what sort of old maids would choose to live in a place called Dripping Fang Forest, where zombies wander the woods singing “Itsy Bitsy Spider” and ten-foot-long glowing slugs want to suck the feet right off your ankles? Would it seem ungrateful of Wally to point out the Mandible sisters’ extra arms? Or to question their all-chocolate, all-the-time menu? Or, um, to venture into the cellar, where the twins have been told to NEVER, EVER, EVER go? Yeah, perhaps that last bit was a mistake. Now there’s nothing left for the Shluffmuffins to do but run–run for their lives!

"my 7 and 9 year olds listened to this book on a car trip. it was funny and spooky (scooby doo spooky....not too scary). they did not want to stop listening and get out to to have lunch. it was a short 1 hour 40 minutes....now I need to find the next book in the series on audio."

Secrets of Dripping Fang, Book #1: The Onts Listener Reviews
-
" This is for those who enjoy tongue-in-cheek, sly and melodramatic orphan tales. It's funny and I am curious what happens to them in the next installment, although perhaps not as curious as I was with Snicket or Aiken. "
— Natasha, 2/17/2014 -
" Incredibly derivative. Similar to Lemony Snicket, Spiderwick Chronicles, etc. "
— Sarah, 2/16/2014 -
" Cute story for kids, although the ending petered out a bit and fell flat. Maybe continuing on to see what comes next will satisfy. "
— Rebecca, 2/14/2014 -
" First in a FUNNY, fast-paced series of eight short but spicy books. "
— Hoover, 2/14/2014 -

" Twin orphans find themselves being adopted by two mysterious "ladies" who want to be called Onts. After being taken to the mysterious Dripping Fangs Forest, the twins soon find themselves in danger and running from strange and dangerous creatures. A fun book for beginner readers. "
— Duane, 1/20/2014 -
" Read this one at the request of my 8-year-old daughter who devoured it. Quick little fantasy/horror-like read. It's a series... just meh. "
— Clarissa, 1/14/2014 -
" i like it it's pretty good "
— tree, 12/27/2013 -
" Sometimes you just need a funny/scary book. Quick read, gross, silly, and fun. "
— Michael, 12/22/2013 -
" Giant ants? Feet-eating glow in the dark slugs? Man eating werewolves? I picked up this book thinking it would be a fun one for my 10-year-old son and I was right! A very fun story that any boy (or girl, if they like creep factors) would love. "
— Alison, 12/5/2013 -

— Artemis, 11/28/2013 -
" Fun but scary story. In my opinion too scary for the targeted 8-12. "
— Jenny, 11/16/2013 -
" Listened to it. Very funny. For smart kids-- humor is pretty high level. Really want to listen to next one. "
— Tamara, 9/3/2013 -
" This book was pretty good. Very interesting. Was funny but I don't know if I liked how the author wrote it. Kind of made me want to go through and re write it to be more scarier or something. But overall, it was really good. "
— Kaylee, 6/27/2013 -
" Fun book on CD to listen to w/ the boys on a road trip. Too bad the library doesn't have the rest of the series on CD. "

" Ew! Gross and funny. Great for kids who like slimy stuff like bugs and snot. "
— Stephanie, 2/21/2012 -
" Oh, Lemony Snicket, what hath you wrought? A near carbon copy of the Unfortunate Event books, with a less biting voice, complete with quirky orphans, direct addresses to the audience, and serial adventure. "
— Danielle, 2/18/2012 -
" So cute! I read this to my kids on a long road trip, they laughed there heads off. My husband even liked it and didn't want to miss hearing what happened. "
— Crystal, 6/24/2011 -
" This was a fun children's book that is reminiscent of the Lemony Snicket books, only a little easier to read and not as depressing. I look forward to the whole series! "
