Book description: A whole family listen for fans of Hotel Transylvania and The Addams Family.
When Tom is invited to the reading of a will of a great-uncle he’s never heard of, there’s no way to know what to expect. But on the long list of possible things to inherit, a traveling carnival ghost train is the very last on the list.
Review:
This was such a fun read, quick to get through, and engaging. We follow a 14-year-old Tom who suddenly inherits a traveling ghost train. First, he decides to accept the inheritance even when a weird man shows up asking him to sell it to him. The reason for rejecting to sell it was simply that he didn't really like the pushy man who was willing to pay a 'big' amount of money to a kid.
This is a very classic evil over-the-top evil guy who is just making a nuisance of himself.
We have a found family, Tom gets to know the creatures in the train and he starts to break through their ice. He is after all not his uncle, they do not really know him yet.
The whole cast in this narration makes it very enjoyable. I totally recommend it, its a one of those stories you can play for children and enjoy as a whole family.
