The spooky old house on Surprise Island intrigues Benny.
September 1, 2009
Gr 3-5-While adult fans of the original series, which began in 1942, might be interested in seeing their favorite characters in a new format, these books fall short of expectations. In all three titles, the art feels stiff and awkwardthe characters faces are undeveloped and indistinct, making them difficult to connect with. The text, rather than the images, moves the action along, flattening the excitement of the Alden kids discoveries and making even the dramatic moments when the mysteries are revealed seem clunky and anticlimactic."Lauren Anduri, Brooklyn Public Library, NY"
