Book Description

November 1999
When George stays with Aunt Primrose, certain doubts start to creep into his mind. Has she really got exploding hair? What is she keeping in the cellar? And the biggest question of all: why on earth is George still felling so happy?

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Grade 4-6-When young George must stay with his great-aunt, Primrose, who he last saw when he was four years old, he is uneasy with the old woman he had remembered with fondness. Her seaside home has a mystery in the cellar. Primrose is caught gluing wisps of synthetic hair to her head, and she doesn't remember the answer to a favorite riddle she shared with George years ago. Gradually George discovers that the real Aunt Primrose has been kidnapped and held captive while her evil sister, Violet the sea hag, has taken her place and hopes to lure George to the sea. Even after George rescues Primrose, a battle must be waged to outwit Violet. George also learns that on his eleventh birthday, certain family "qualities" such as gill slits may appear, making him special. This off-beat tale from British author Susan Gates (Puffin, 1998) is fully-voiced by Judy Bennett, who effectively and believably renders George's ten-year-old voice and the voices of the other characters. A few Briticisms may confound young American listeners, but the audiobook will suit those in search of something different.

From AudioFile

The offbeat story of George and his oddball Aunt Primrose, read by BBC voice-over specialist Judy Bennett, is a mystery that turns into a wild adventure, as Aunt Primrose slowly reveals herself to be an imposter. (The real aunt is locked in a tank in the basement.) This watery tale of being different--and learning to accept it--is given a whole cast of effective voices by Bennett, who seems to have no difficulty finding the right vocal style for a small boy, an elderly woman and a sea creature.
