A HOUSE CALLED AWFUL END

Philip Ardagh, . . Scholastic, $5.99 (144pp) ISBN 978-0-439-53759-9

In a starred review, PW called this debut tale in a trilogy starring 11-year-old Eddie Dickens, who is sent away to his mad aunt and uncle's home, "a tongue-in-cheek tale of a hapless youth. Kids who lap up Lemony Snicket's series will take quickly to this tale and clamor for the next." Ages 8-up. (Sept.)
