Synopsis

“WONDERFULLY WITTY.” —Chris Grabenstein, New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and coauthor with James Patterson of House of Robots and Treasure Hunters
 
Take one part Roald Dahl, a pinch of Mysterious Benedict Society, and a dash of Lemony Snicket, then add a league of adventurous children, a little magic, and a centuries-old feud with witches, and you get this quirky and hilarious middle-grade series!
 
After their narrow escape from a NEFARIOUS kidnapping ring, Anastasia, Ollie, and Quentin (aka the League of Beastly Dreadfuls!) are looking forward to a relaxing vacation from DANGER! INTRIGUE! CATASTROPHE! Sadly, they’re not going to get one.
 
Because Anastasia makes the SHOCKING discovery that her family is at the heart of a centuries-old WAR with WITCHES, a war that began with the dastardly disappearance of Anastasia’s very own grandfather. Can the league track down Anastasia’s grandfather and find out who Anastasia really is? Gentle Reader, BEWARE! The trail of clues leads to spine-tingling surprises. Read on . . . if you DARE!

My name is Anastasia, and my Aunt Penny just told me I'm a morfo. Maybe I'll be able to change into a guinea pig like my dad, but my aunt says most morflings can become bats. I'll need to wait until I change for the first time to find out. I discovered my grandmother is queen of the morflings and li......more

Goodreads review by Astrid on July 30, 2024

Review from my ten year old: it has everything she likes. It has mystery, magic and a princess that wants to be a detective/ veterinarian/ artist. You get good “tea” (her word 😅). It is exciting, made her curious 👀 and happy. She loved the male gorgon and that his name was Gus. My daughter also love......more

Goodreads review by X-Ayvi on February 03, 2021

The League of Beastly Dreadfuls book 2 is a great book. Picking up after where you left off in book 1, you and Anastasia discover many new things, most of which, are about her past. What is the Dastardly Deed? Whatever became her great grandpa, Nicholas, and where on earth have her parents gone? Unl......more
