Explanation Concering Books Neversuch House
Neversuch House is home to the very unusual Halibut family. Spanning generations, the Halibuts all live together totally isolated from the outside world, never needing - or wanting - to step outside the walls of Neversuch, with every whim being catered for by a mass of servants.But when twelve-year-old Omnia Halibut sees a hooded figure emerging from the woods by the Wall, she can't help but wonder who the man is and why he is skulking around the House. And as Omnia sets out to discover the truth she triggers a chain of events that threatens to destroy Neversuch House forever.
For the House is steeped in secrets, secrets that some people want to remain hidden, and, as Omnia tries to unravel the mysteries of Neversuch House, someone is watching her, and they will do anything to stop her from revealing the truth…

3-3.5 stars. Brilliant book if you need a gift for someone aged around 8-12, particularly if they like The Series of Unfortunate Events or Coraline! Neversuch House is home to the Halibut family, all of the Halibut family. In fact since being built no Halibut's have ever left, and anyone who goes to work at the house is never seen again.

The characters were mysterious and there was a secret waiting to be discovered in every chapter of the book.It was so surprising and unique and I really like the characters like Omnia Halibut and Cornelius Slinker.I can't wait to read the second book.
Ce livre est resté de long mois dans ma wish-list, javais découvert ce titre chez Mya, quand jai fini par lacheté après lecture de lavis dhistoire du soir.Jai donc entamé la semaine dernière la lecture de ce roman jeunesse. Jai vraiment bien apprécié loriginalité du scénario, et lhistoire un peu farfelue de cette maison et ses habitants, aux noms improbables.

Okumaya başlarken açıkçası bu ne dedim :) ama okumaya devam ettikçe ilgimi çekmeye başladı ve çok sevdim. Çocuklar için çok güzel bir kitap tavsiye ederim;)

But what completely won me over and captured my imagination was the house itself: the larger-than-a-palace building, with forgotten rooms, towers, branching staircases, secret hidey-holes in fake chimneys, underground rivers,
I honestly couldnt wait to read this book - I love the magic, excitement and mystery that you get with childrens books. But I still dont know what to make of the start of the story, which was filled with wonderful back-story but little action. Chapter seven is titled The First Extraordinary Event (or Two), and it isnt until this chapter that the plot really gets going.I do however love the setting and the House with its maze of gardens, walkways and buildings, and hundreds of hidden rooms that
