Book Overview

"A WORD TO THE WISE"" There are those of you who were saddened by Fergal's death in The Fall of Fergal. Now Fergal is back."" There are those of you who recoiled at yet more death in Heir of Mystery. This should cheer you up. "" There are those of you frustrated by not knowing what was causing the terrible outbreak of holes across the land. Your frustration will soon be at an end."" There are those of you eager to find out the secret of Mr. Maggs's teddy bear. The wait is over."" And as for LeFay, Albie, and Josh's particular powers? Just give me time." "--PHILIP ARDAGH" The third and final Unlikely Exploit In this, the third and final Unlikely Exploit, the reader is taken on a journey through time in all directions, even revisiting some events from the previous Exploits and traveling back further still to a time before the McNally family's extraordinary adventures began. And as if that wasn't ridiculous enough, there's also a glimpse of the shape of things to come. This is the Exploit where the McNallys' powers are finally revealed and everything falls into place. Whether it makes sense or not is another matter. It's all so unlikely

Customer Reviews

Amazing adventure - amazing book

This book is the final and, in my opinion, the best of the three books in the trilogy "Unlikely Exploits". The book has a hidden lesson wrapped in a wonderful story of adventures and amazing twists and surprises. Pure pleasure for kids and adults.

Good Gravy!

This book is perfectly good. It's not as good as the first and second unlikely exploits, but you DO get to know the powers of Le Fay Mcnally, Josh and Albie. If you haven't read the 1st and 2nd book, it would be a total boring book. Buy the 1st and second FIRST! Great buy, for adventure-lovers or humour-lovers or lover-lovers.
