The title's great and I love the illustrations. There is a story here, but something was missing. The plot could have been juicier. Also, the pacing was so fast at times that things didn't sink in with me. I'm still curious about the rest of the series, though.
In book two of the series Stanley Buggles return to Crampton Rock for a winter visit. There’s a chill in the air and it is not because of the weather. Stanley must help a headless Admiral find his head, defend the Ibis from the approaching pirates and prevent the Quickening. Although readers are familiar with Mould’s air of creepiness the plot maintains its quick pace and eerie reading that readers will enjoy.
Darkly Humorous and Ghostly Middle Grade Action/AdventureI very much enjoyed the first book in this series and was curious to see if this second volume was as interesting and fun as the first. I am happy to report that, at least for me, this book was, if anything, better.In the first volume of this series we met Stanley Buggles, who is a smart, courageous, inquisitive, and clever hero for whom you are happy to root. The setting, the isolated island of Crampton Rock, is creepy and intriguing, wit...

I received this book for free from the publisher. All content and opinions are my own.The Icy Hand is the second book in the Something Wickedly Weird series by Chris Mould. I haven't read the first book, but this one provided enough back story that I quickly caught up.SPOILERS FROM THE FIRST BOOKStanley, our young hero, has inherited a large and decrepit mansion from his great-uncle Admiral Bartholomew Swift. During his previous and first visit to Cramdock Rock, an incident with a werewolf, pira...
I can hardly remember ever reading this but it's a great book! My friend has a hardbound copy of this when we were freshmen and the whole class seemed to have taken an interest with it. I really love the adventure and the spookiness of the story, plus the fantastic illustrations and splendid artwork!
This book is about the same as the first in the series. Decent writing style, but the plot leaves something to be desired. I though I'd read two books in the series to see what it's about, but I likely will not read any more. The series is intended for mid-level elementary school children.
I enjoyed the second book just as much as the first! The adventure continued and this time you get ghosts and pirates and you still have a talking fish. Again a really fun story and plenty of great adventure to carry you through. Grades 3+
Stanley heads back to Crampton Rock for his winter break, his second visit to the island after inheriting the old mansion from his great-uncle, Admiral Bartholomew Swift. Now Stanley is back with Mrs. Carelli and his crumbling old property. A new friends is made when Stanley is introduced to Daisy, the niece of the old fisherman, Mr. Grouse.When we last left Stanley at the end of Book One, he had prevailed over a some dastardly pirates and a werewolf then unwittingly set off another chain of eve...
Went ahead and read this second book in the series since even though I wasn't all that impressed with the first. Same reaction here, while there are some creative aspects, and the illustrations add to the fun, the series just seems too simple and kind of flat. The lead character in particular is not all that compelling. Again with the caveat that this is a chapter book for early elementary reader so perhaps my expectations are off.
Again my husband read this to us as a family. It seemed to start out with suspense and the kids were excited to see what would happen with the Stormbringers. Then it became too slow-paced for my kids and they lost interest. It was lacking action according to my kids. The important events took place far apart from each other. They are vaguely interested to see what happens in the next book.
Not quite as fun or believable as the first ... but still interesting enough to make me keep reading. And wondering about book 3. Lucky part about finding a book series late in the game? I've already got it. ;)
