About this listen

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

I had previously bought another of Eva Ibbotson's books, 'The Great Ghost Rescue', which I greatly enjoyed, and had decided to purchase this one in the hopes that it will follow suit. Sadly, 'Monster Mission' didn't quite grab me as 'Ghost Rescue' did in terms of the story and its characters. It seemed to jump about too much with who or what we were suppose to focus on and, even with the tense scenes midway, it seemed to ramble on a bit.

However, Julian Rhind-Tutt was an excellent Storyteller. He put in a lot of emotion, energy and accents in his performance and kept my attention more than the story itself. He's worth buying just to listen to, really!

Excellent Storyteller, Lacklustre Story
