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!
What began as a quirky tale of a down-on-their-luck, eccentric family morphed into aliens with time machines????? This just got too convoluted & bizarre, especially as the non-linear approach continued from the two previous books. My kids were confused. I was confused.
A darkly funny book that ties together all the stories from the previous book in the trilogy. any fan of gothic children's lit will love this.
In their third and final episode in the Unlikely Exploits series, the McNally children meet Lionel Lyons who asks them to help fix problems caused by Time Travelers. This was a wild and whacky and entertaining read!
