Product Description

From AudioFile

When Alexs sixth-grade teacher turns out to be the descendant of a pirate, she launches a secret hunt for his lost inheritance of booty. Unfortunately, Alex isnt the only seeker. Narrator Christopher Lane portrays Alex as inexperienced but confident as she carries out her quest. Through Lanes wide vocal range, listeners become entangled with very odd characters, some of them menacing but most of them more absurd than scary. Lane shines in his portrayal of a gigantic octopus drowning his sorrows in drink because his movie career has ended due to computer-generated technology. When Alex finally introduces us to the notorious captain of the IRONIC GENTLEMAN, were in for a surprise. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

She also rides a doomed Art Deco party train and goes to sea with Captain Magnanimous and the HMS Valiant.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alex and The Ironic Gentleman, April 12 2009

By	Tami Brady "Whole Health Therapist" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Alex is in for the adventure of a lifetime. It would seem that her private school, Wigpowder- Steele was founded by a pirate, Wigpowder. He also left a secret treasure map for his son. His friend, Steele, a well respected man in the town, agreed to hold the map until the pirate's son reached the age of consent.

Of course, things went horrible wrong. Over time, the map was lost. The descendent of the Wigpowder line became a well respected school teacher at the school and descendent of the Steele line a pirate.

Alex finds the long lost map and has to use it in order to save her teacher. It's no small task. She'll meet a ginormaous octopus, a talking refrigerator, and have to outsmart a mean band of pirates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids LOVE this book!, Mar 7 2009

By	Martine (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

Alex and the Ironic Gentleman is an outstanding story that will capture the imaginations of children and adults alike. I read this book aloud to my class of 10-12 year olds and at the end of each session was begged to keep going. Ms. Kress sends Alex, the hero, on exciting, frightening, surprising and often hilarious adventures. The language is rich and descriptive and the dialogue is witty and intelligent. The reader is quickly carried away with Alex as she embarks upon a most extraordinary treasure hunt encountering delinquent old ladies, a disheartened octopus and swashbuckling pirates to name but a few. If you enjoyed Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and everything in between, you'll love Alex and the Ironic Gentleman!
