قرأتها بالنسخة العربية والترجمة ظلمت بعض الجمل بالكتاب اللي كان المؤلف يهدف من خلفها انها تكون مضحكة ... بشكل عام لا انصح فيها

"MY NAME IS MABEL JONES AND I'M NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING."

This series may be written for kids. It may be full of ridiculous characters and silly art work and awful misspellings. It may also be one of my favorite series ever. I adore Mabel and her crew of motley friends. I love the adventures we witness her going on. And Omynus Hussh may be one of the best characters ever written for kids.

This ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I cannot find any news of a fourth which is highly disappointing. Fingers are crossed that another unlikely adventure awaits before Mabel returns to the hooman world!

بصراحة الكتاب جاء مخيب للآمال وبخاصة عندما أكون قد رشحت هذه السلسلة في أفضل القراءات العائلية .. وربما كان هذا سببا وجيها أن المؤلف لم يكمل السلسلة
الثلاثة نجوم للعشرة الطويلة خلال رحلتنا معا في الثلاث أجزاء

Why the author didn’t finish it? Didn’t like the ending...

[Sharayah Preman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one was much darker than the others and kinda gross at times. I feel like the author is more focused on shock value and one upping the precious books.

I feel like this book series isn't getting the hype it deserves. We loved this books (mixed age group, ages 6, 8, 9, 13, and 16) and they make for excellent read-alouds. If you like doing voices, please do the voices. It does make it more fun and dramatic. The only thing I don't understand is why I saw this mentioned as the "conclusion to the series" and I can't find anything at all about any future books being published. The book had a decent conclusion but the series didn't conclude at all, and this book was published in 2017. We shall anxiously await? Either way, as a family we highly recommend. Fun, irreverent, suspenseful. (Book #1, by the way, could easily be read as a stand-alone.)

Just as a content note if you have sensitive kiddos, there are some scenes that involve death in each book.

As the 3rd part of a series it's entertaining enough, all of the usual carry-on with Mabel Jones being very amusing, with some new characters added but it felt as if one went to see their favourite comedian twice in one year, he's still kind of tweaking your funny bone but there's just something missing and that was this book, it was good, but there was something missing and the best way to convey that is by omitting the fifth star.
It's a Return of the Jedi kind of book, great chases and battles but then there was all the other stuff that made you go, eh, it wasn't terrible but it was no Empire Strikes Back.

Funny

[Thaddeus · Rating 4 out of 5]

Even ruder and coarser, which is particularly impressive. A little worried that Mabbitt hasn’t released a fourth book yet, which is definitely needed.

[Laura Feldon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this book. Just sad there are no more to the series.

[Elizabeth Jayne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great little series, but still more to come.

The boo's review (9). I liked every single part of this book. There were a bunch of exciting parts to this book, but my favorite was when you actually got to read the Doomsday Book. I like the way the author paused to describe the scene so you could actually picture it. My favorite character was Mabel Jones, with Omynous a close second. I liked that she goes on so many adventures and she's really brave. Make sure you use your imagination and picture the adventures!

Over the course of three books, Mabel Jones has gone from a marginalized traveler in a dangerous world, to a sibling traveler (to rescue and then guide her younger sister home), and finally an orphan traveler who has chosen to adventure in this far future world to hopefully prevent whatever tragedy befell humanity.

There's at least a fourth one because they have to go to where Egypt was.

Wonderful read out loud. Silly characters in unlikely situations made this book fly in the imaginations of my kids. Kept thier attentions and them wanting more.
