Eddie Dickens Trilogy, Book One: A House Called Awful End | Philip Ardagh

Rating: ★★★½☆

Awful end

As stated by the author, this book came about because rather than write his nephew boring letters while he was at boarding school, his Uncle chose to write him stories instead. Eddie’s stories.

When Eddie Dickens’ parents take ill with an odd disease, they send him off with his Great-Uncle, who happens to be mad. Much to Eddie’s chagrin, upon arriving in the carriage, his Great-aunt is even madder. Naturally, many mishaps ensue. From sleeping in a trunk to rescuing an orphanage full of kids, Eddie is kept on his toes.

Fun, playful, zany little book. Can’t wait to see what happens in his next episode!
