Another great collection of scary short stories! Scary, yet fun, and the good guys triumph over bullies and the bad. Loved it.

This book is a bunch of short stories put together. I really enjoyed reading this book alot.the stories where stories of monsters and ghost and stuff to sort of shake you up alttle to leave you wondering. IF you like not knowing whats comming up in a storie and haveing that great suspense then read "The Ribbajack & other curious yarns" By, Brian Jacques.

a fever dream, really

There comes a time in a person's life when you realize that maybe an author you enjoyed as a kid wasn't particularly good at writing some genres. The stories here are very flat. The second story is literally 'Girl goes to grab her jacket from school, sees a ghost, and runs away.' That's it. Brian Jacques has the tendency a lot of writers have of making the 'bad' characters physically ugly, so you know how evil they are, which I find tiring. I'm so disappointed, because I remember looking everywhere for this book as a kid. I guess it was for the best I didn't find it back then.

I love the Redwall series, unfortunately I did not love these short stories. They were 'okay' for the most part, though some had some questionable aspects(like a girl saying her mother was stupid, and a character with severely broken English who is described as simply 'Siamese'). But, mostly the Ribbajack was long and kinda boring, and the others barely held my attention any better. To sum up, I am glad to have this off my TBR, and I plan to unhaul.

great read for those who like short stories. have read other Jaques books and this one doesn't disappoint either.

This collection of short stories by Jacques were cute. And there seemed to be a moral to each story. My favorite was "Miggy Mags and the Malabar Sailor.

quick read. it was alright. expected a lot more. but ok.

Fairly dark, unlike Jacques' Redwall series. An easy quick read.

These were all very clever. Enjoyable.

a fantastic collection of seven short stories based on mythical creatures and light horror. A delightful breath of fresh air. With several well established casts of mixed and well accented characters what bring each story to life.

Mostly variations on familiar spookies: werewolves, ghosts, mermaids, etc. The Ribbajack is original, and as a story has a bit more dash to it and the characters a bit more life.
