The Monsters of Morley Manor: A Madcap Adventure [Unabridged] [Audio Cassette]

Bruce Coville (Author), Leslie Noble (Narrator), The Full Cast Family (Narrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

Unabridged, multi-voiced recording. Monsters, aliens, ghosts, giant frogs, and a tragic angel are just some of the ingredients of this madcap adventure that is quite possibly Bruce Coville's strangest novel yet. Bruce himself appears on this recording as Gaspar Morley, head of a strange family of monsters that draw Anthony (our narrator) and his little sister Sarah into a galaxy-spanning adventure with the very souls of Earth's dead at stake.

From the Publisher

The Monsters of Morley Manor is a multi-voiced recording featuring the Full Cast Audio family of actors with author Bruce Coville appearing as Gaspar Morley. A cast of over 20 actors helped to bring to life the zany, magical, and sometimes alien characters in Bruce Coville's weirdest book ever. The twists and turns of this delightful hodgepodge of humor and horror will enthrall young and old alike. Reminiscent of classic radio drama, this magical audiobook is even better because it contains the full, unabridged text.

This review is from: The Monsters of Morley Manor: A Madcap Adventure (Audio Cassette)

My third grade daughter, although a good reader, had a tendency to jump from book to book when reading by herself. Her school librarian gave her Morley manor and this all changed. She read it faithfully, often recounting parts of the story to me and when she finished it she promptly decided to read it again.
