Freaky Families

di Diana Wynne Jones (Autore)

Penelope Rawlins (Narratore)

HarperCollins, 2017

Two quirky and hilarious stories from the bestselling Diana Wynne Jones. Two groups of children learn that while you can choose your friends, dealing with your family can make you wish you could choose a different one… THE FOUR GRANNIES. Two children are left alone for a couple of days, while their parents go away on a business trip. They have four very different grandmas – a mean one, a snobby one, an anxious one, and a delicate one. Erg (the boy) tries to make all the grannies leave him alone, but manages to turn them into one ‘Super-Granny’… AUNTIE BEA’S DAY OUT. Annoying Auntie Bea always does things HER way. And when she decides to take the three children (Nancy, Debbie and Simon) to the seaside, despite what the signs say, she is determined that they will sit on the small, fenced off and isolated island. It turns out to be a magical island though, and whisks her & the children (and dog) around to different places trying to get rid of them… Diana Wynne Jones, a bestselling author, once again proves her mettle in the realm of children's fiction. The short, fantasy-laden stories are a delightful read for kids, underscoring her standing as a top author in the juvenile genre. For fans of Katherine Rundell (The Wolf Wilder), Frances Hardinge (Island of Whispers), Cornelia Funke (Inkspell), Joan Aiken (The Serial Garden), and Susan Cooper (Dawn of Fear).
