Simon & Schuster Sea-ing is Believing!

Welcome back to the Nothing to See Here Hotel and be prepared for a rollercoaster of a ride. In book three Frankie and his family are preparing to celebrate Great, Great,Great Grandpa's Abe's 175th birthday. Maudlin Maloney has a surprise when she tells the family she could bring back Grandpa Abe from the other side as a ghost using a Skelo key. However Granny Regurgita (my favourite character in the books and you've got to love that name!) isn't keen on bringing her husband back as she never forgave him for dying and leaving her with the hotel. Maudlin manages to bring back Abe and the Bannister family are over the moon especially Frankie, maybe now they will be able to find out if Abes son Oculus was lying about his father is Abe really a baddie or not? With the help of Abe they discover the long forgotten Briny Ballroom which no one apparently knew about. What they discover is a truly magical part of the hotel that they want to use to celebrate Abes birthday now his ghost can join them. Frankie has his suspicions about Abe and hopes he really is who he says he is .... Where do I start reviewing this hilariously funny book I absolutely loved it as I did the previous too Steven Butlers writing has you glued to the book from beginning to end and Steven Lentons illustrations are wonderful and bring the story to life. All the characters from the previous two books are here once again Granny is her usual grumpy self and so funny. Frankie is as always the one who has his head screwed on and looking out for his family and the hotel seems to be his job. I loved the journey they take to the Briny Ballroom in Grandpas fish shaped machine called the Atilantus , which reminded me of the Nautilus from 20,000 leagues under the sea. The descriptions and the illustrations of the ballroom are truly magical and as the story unravels we learn more about Frankie's family background. I read this book in one sitting and really didn't want to put it down children and adults of all ages will love these books, adults will love some off the names of the characters like Viscera Von Tangle !! A well deserved 5 stars and I'm hoping for a book 4 soon.

This series is brilliant! My 9yr old daughter LOVED all of them.

Ages 5-6-7 adore this series as a bed-time chapter/s story book and will undoubtedly go berserk with glee when they hear a fourth is imminent - thank you very much to the two Stevens. In our household to date, this series of books has genuinely been unrivalled in its ability to entertain and enthrall, not least through the regular deployment of gripping cliffangers and plot twists (speaking in my capacity as a bedtime-storyteller-in-chief).

brilliant collection
