The Weirdies: Audiobooks in Order
A monster family, a new home and a great deal of mischief: The Weirdies is Michael Buckley at his most playful, a children’s series that leans happily into the fun of being delightfully odd. The opening book is short and spry at just 1 hour and 43 minutes, and it arrives with a genuine headline attraction on the microphone. A 4.8 average across 39 ratings suggests young listeners and their grown-ups are thoroughly charmed.

Why listen to The Weirdies?
Here is the treat: the narrator is Kate Winslet, and a performer of that calibre turns a short children’s book into a proper event. Her range and warmth are exactly what a house full of friendly monsters needs, and at under two hours the whole thing fits neatly into a car journey or a run of bedtimes.As the first book in the series, The Weirdies is the obvious starting point, and its brevity makes it ideal for younger attention spans or a reluctant listener you are hoping to win over. It suits families wanting something funny and inclusive, primary-age children who like a touch of the spooky and silly, and any parent who fancies a story time carried by a truly gifted voice.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★★ 4.5/5
I will admit a soft spot the moment I saw Kate Winslet’s name, and the 4.8 average across 39 ratings backs the instinct, even if 39 is a modest rather than commanding sample. For children’s audio, a short runtime paired with a superb narrator is a winning combination, and Buckley’s mischief gives her plenty to play with. I would recommend it warmly to families, tempering that only with the honest note that the ratings pool, glowing as it is, remains small.
