Review
The odd adventures of an even odder group of make-believe characters take them through a tidal wave to the strangest house imaginable with everything made of paper, wood or plaster. They soon discover the house is a theater and they proceed with typical misadventures to write and stage a play. Optimism always reigns as Moominpapa, Moominmama, the Snork Maiden, Little My, Misabel and a host of others engage in a labyrinth of whimsy. The wit here and there may be a bit sophisticated for the age level, but the story loaded with situation will appeal to those with a preference for intricate fancy. (Kirkus Reviews)

Customer Reviews

One of my favourite children's books
I read this book when I was a kid -- many moons ago -- and though I can't remember much about it now, I do remember that I loved it. If you have a child in the right age group, give this one a try. It left me with a glow that hasn't left me yet.

What I think of Moomin Summer Madness
It is such an excellent book, I plan to read it over and over again. I recommend it to everybody - children and adults alike (it was actually an adult who recommended it to me first!!) I'm going to make my mum read it too. It is a magical book and I now want to read all the moomin books. Please give it a try.
