About this listen

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 villains who want to turn it into a theme park.

Critic Reviews

"For children who like Roald Dahl, Eva Ibbotson's Monster Mission will be a discovery . . . it is engaging, funny and opinionated . . . a treat not to be missed." ( Sunday Times)

I bought this version not realising it was severely abridged.
The original is 6ish hours long and this one is 3, therefore half of the story gets cut out. There are so many events and characters not included in this version. Storyteller is fabulous though!

Didn't realise it was the abridged version
