Reviewer: Natasha M
Set in a gloomy old country mansion in England, Awful Auntie follows young Stella Saxby, who wakes up to find her life turned upside down. Her Aunt Alberta and a menacing owl named Wagner aren’t what they seem—and something suspicious is going on in the house.
Full of mystery, laughs, and just the right amount of spookiness, this book is a thrilling adventure about bravery, friendship, and standing up to the truly awful. What I loved most was Stella’s cleverness and courage, and the hilarious way Wlliams mixes danger with humour.
Fans of Lemony Snicket or Roald Dahl will enjoy this darkly funny tale.
Young readers who love action, secrets, and a wicked villain will be hooked!
