A high-speed, witty, absurd and joyful adventure." Katherine Rundell, author of Rooftoppers and The Good Thieves A corker of a story. I loved the writing, the setting, the STUPENDOUS action scenes, how well-paced it was, with such drama, revelations, plot twists and the loveliest of final lines... and one of the most satisfying endings I've read in a long while, with the promise of more in the epilogue. Bravo, Hana - what a book! Emma Carroll, author of Letters to the Lighthouse the fear of being returned or being abandoned again, as it is for many children in the system, is one that plagues many Looked After Children – thank you for making it into a joke).

All children deserve to find a welcoming home, and just because a child is not adopted does not mean there is something wrong with them.

The Unadoptables by Hana Tooke, Ayesha L. Rubio | Waterstones

All the Dutch phrases and words are great, even if some seem off in the context; kindjes, most of all- not to mention Egg, whose name is Egbert... and let me tell you that Egbert pronounced the way it should be, has no egg sound in there anywhere. I mean seriously, Bert would have made more sense. These things make me suspect that Tooke has been pretty out of practice with the Dutch language and its pronunciation. This does however mean that for anyone who speaks Dutch, the audiobook is something to be avoided. I love Gemma Whelan and this is nothing against her, but I will never understand why it's apparently impossible to teach narrators the foreign words they are supposed to read. So yeah, might want to avoid the audio! There are secrets hidden beneath the ice . . . bring the magic home in the frosty fourth instalment of the bestselling Pinch of Magic Adventures, from the award-winning Michelle Harrison.Anyway, I've been digressing. The Unadoptables is author Hana Tooke's debut and it has all the makings of a great classic to be loved by generations to come. Set in the late 19th century Amsterdam, the period flavour lends timeless quality to the story of five unusual orphans who have been left at The Tulip Orphanage in a most unacceptable manner (according to the rules). For twelve years these five remained in the orphanage, deemed 'unadoptable' by the Elinora Gassbeek, its cruel matron. Milou, Lotta, Sem, Fenna and Egbert (more affectionately known as Egg) have grown into very distinguished and precocious individuals.

The Unadoptables by Hana Tooke | Goodreads

If you want to read more whimsical spookiness, I’d highly recommend The Bone Garden by Heather Kassner which is about a girl who is made of dust, bone and imagination. It’s not too scary, but it is dark, whimsical, gothic, and full of heart. Offbeat orphans! Sinister villains! Sort of creepy life-sized puppets! In her debut middle-grade book, Hana Tooke has crafted a terrific, atmospheric story wherein five 'unadoptable' orphans, each of whom showed up in the orphanage in very unusual ways and have unique not-quite-powers, are about to be taken in by the callous Rotman for nefarious purposes and must go on the run. The Unadoptables will make you wish your own parents had loved you enough to leave you at a Dutch orphanage in the 19th century to join in their adventures. Great for readers of A Series of Unfortunate Events and the Serafina series. Nathan Halter, Lahaska Bookshop MARAVILLOSO libro de aventuras juvenil, donde acompañaremos a cinco niños increíbles en una aventura realmente extraordinaria. Estos cinco niños son abandonados en la puerta del orfanato Tulipán, y durante 12 años no son adoptados por ninguna familia debido a sus “peculiaridades”, y su matrona, lejos de ayudarlos, les hace la vida imposible. Los cinco tendrán que permanecer unidos para afrontar lo que les ha tocado vivir, y tratar de escapar de la vida que realmente no tienen. In a cold, dark, Amsterdam winter, a group of unique orphans shine brightly with hope and love. Milou and her band of talented friends set out from the Little Tulip Orphanage on a quest for freedom and family, over frozen canals to evade a despicable villain. With a little bit of spookiness and a whole lot of quirkiness, this book will capture your heart! Tegan Tigani, Queen Anne Book Company e) You must not use adoptionuk.org in a way that might reasonably be expected to cause the same to be interrupted, damaged, rendered less efficient or which could in any way damage the operation of another's computer.When Milou discovers the orphanage matron's plot to sell her and her friends to a nefarious figure, she hatches an escape plan. Using only the clues left with her as a baby (a coffin-shaped basket, a cat puppet, a velvet dress), Milou and her friends dive headlong into a new adventure outside the orphanage's walls. The Unadoptables has everything: evil ship captains, lifelike puppets, a charming Dutch setting complete with windmills and canals, a ragtag group of orphans looking for a family, and a mystery at the heart of it all. Perfect for reading out loud, and just the right amount of scary, this has the feel of a classic in the making. Bethany Strout, Tattered Cover Bookstore

The setting is lovely, and that is saying something because I loathe Amsterdam. I guess there is just something about the 19th century and winter that makes things feel more magical.
