    About this audiobook

    Monster Mission by Eva Ibbotson is a fun fantasy adventure full of fantastical creatures and mythical monsters! This wonderful audiobook edition is read aloud by actor Julian Rhind-Tutt.

    'We must kidnap some children,' announced Aunt Etta. 'Young, strong ones. It will be dangerous, but it must be done.'

    Three children are stolen and taken to a bizarre island, which is home to some extraordinary creatures – including mermaids, selkies and the legendary kraken. The island is the base for a very mysterious mission. But the magical adventure is cut short when the island is suddenly under siege. Can the children save themselves and their new friends?

    'Funny, gripping, charming and completely irresistible' - Amanda Craig

    Eva Ibbotson

    Eva Ibbotson was born in Vienna in 1925 and moved to England with her father when the Nazis came into power. Ibbotson wrote more than twenty books for children and young adults, many of which garnered nominations for major awards for children's literature in the UK, including the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize and the Whitbread Prize. Eva's critically acclaimed Journey to the River Sea won the Smarties Gold Medal in 2001. Set in the Amazon, it was written in honour of her deceased husband Alan, a former naturalist. Imaginative and humorous, Eva's books often convey her love of nature, in particular the Austrian countryside, which is evident in works such as The Star Of Kazan and A Song For Summer. Eva passed away at her home in Newcastle on October 20th 2010. Her final book, One Dog and His Boy, was published in May 2011.

      Not great. Mediocre at best. But good enough to past the time.
    • 3/5
      This audiobook version of the book isn’t the complete book. There are parts of the book that were removed from this record. Overall the plot still is smooth and enjoyable.
