À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Freaky pleasure...it scratches a nostalgic itch for those who grew up on Saturday morning Scooby-Doo cartoons and sugar-bombed breakfast cereal"
--USA Today

"Deliriously wild, funny and imaginative. Cantero is an original voice."
--Charles Yu, author of How to Live in a Science Fictional Universe

With raucous humor and brilliantly orchestrated mayhem, Meddling Kids subverts teen detective archetypes like the Hardy Boys, the Famous Five, and Scooby-Doo, and delivers an exuberant and wickedly entertaining celebration of horror, love, friendship, and many-tentacled, interdimensional demon spawn.

SUMMER 1977. The Blyton Summer Detective Club (of Blyton Hills, a small mining town in Oregon’s Zoinx River Valley) solved their final mystery and unmasked the elusive Sleepy Lake monster—another low-life fortune hunter trying to get his dirty hands on the legendary riches hidden in Deboën Mansion. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids.

1990. The former detectives have grown up and apart, each haunted by disturbing memories of their final night in the old haunted house. There are too many strange, half-remembered encounters and events that cannot be dismissed or explained away by a guy in a mask. And Andy, the once intrepid tomboy now wanted in two states, is tired of running from her demons. She needs answers. To find them she will need Kerri, the one-time kid genius and budding biologist, now drinking her ghosts away in New York with Tim, an excitable Weimaraner descended from the original canine member of the club. They will also have to get Nate, the horror nerd currently residing in an asylum in Arkham, Massachusetts. Luckily Nate has not lost contact with Peter, the handsome jock turned movie star who was once their team leader . . . which is remarkable, considering Peter has been dead for years.

The time has come to get the team back together, face their fears, and find out what actually happened all those years ago at Sleepy Lake. It’s their only chance to end the nightmares and, perhaps, save the world.

A nostalgic and subversive trip rife with sly nods to H. P. Lovecraft and pop culture, Edgar Cantero’s Meddling Kids is a strikingly original and dazzling reminder of the fun and adventure we can discover at the heart of our favorite stories, no matter how old we get.

As a lifetime fan of Scooby-Doo, meddling kids, mysteries and monsters this book was a lot of fun! A true homage to its source materials with some wonderful twists and turns along the way!
I also thoroughly enjoyed the performances which really added some warmth and depth to the words.

This book was well worth the credit for any fans of scooby doo growing up and any Cthullu type horror fans.

Description sounds promising and the premise seems like it would be everything I love. However it reads as though the author had no idea what kind of book he was writing and came across more like a rejected screenplay turned into a novel. There was an inconsistent writing style that came off as trying to remain "fresh" but really was just jarring and unnecessary. The characters were unlikable for the most part even to the end of the book and no one really grew or changed. Little to no research was done regarding A LOT of the subject matter tackled and that would be fine if the book didn't draw attention to how much things needed to be "realistic" in their fictional universe.

I genuinely tried to like it, I really did. But more often then not I found myself yelling to the book out loud like one does a bad movie. Except bad movies are fun and enjoyable sometimes. This was a try-hard mess, trying to be super "hip with the kids" while also not seeming to understand what makes a good story.

There was so much potential that was completely wasted on a mediocre piece of work and mediocre is being generous. If I could take it back I would not have wasted my time on this book.

That said the narrator was good and did the best she could with the source material given.

I had to force myself to finish this
