This is a thoroughly entertaining children's book. For children there is just enough "scary" tension to have them worried about what could happen to Measle. The book demonstrates that even at a young age one is capable of facing fear and rising to confront adversity.

A magical adventure story about an orphan called Measle who lives with his horrible guardian, Basil Tramplebone. Basil is a Wrathmonk - the worst kind of wizard - and when he find Measle playing with his beloved train set he zaps him with an evil spell. Now Measle's only a few centimetres tall and trapped in the world of the train set. There's a hungry bat in the rafters waiting for nightfall to swoop down on Measle and there's an enormous cockroach after him, but Measle finds some friends in the train set and together they come up with a plan.

I reluctantly started reading this book to my not-quite-eight-year-old son at the suggestion of a friend. I worried it might be too dark for him, but rather, he loves it. And I do, too.

The story is riveting and the writing, superb. We read two or three chapters at a time, because we just can't put it down.

The best part is the positive spin on the lead character, Measle, who, though just a boy, comes up with a plan that saves the day. It's a great message for my son, and great fun for me to watch him so engaged in a story without pictures.

My daughter's teacher read this to the class in 2nd grade and she LOVED it so much she asked me to buy it so that we can read it together. It is such a great book with fun and sometimes scary (but not too scary) adventure. Your child will love it! I recommend the entire Measle series!

I read this to my 4th grade class each year. I needed a new copy and was glad to get it. My students absolutely love this story! A little treasure.

This book is a favorite as a read aloud to my third grade classes.

Love it! Read this book in 5th grade

This book is a gem. Perhaps it is because we read it in the midst of pre-reading 7th grade required literature reading (Anne Frank!), but probably the real reason we loved this book is because it is excellent! I read this book with my almost 14 year old son and 12 year old twin boys. The older boy loved it so much he grabbed it from me and finished it yesterday. I loved it so much I finished it the day we started it. Action-based endorsements aside, this book has a quick setup and dives straight into the action. Each chapter has a problem, a temporary solution and then ends with the looming next problem. Measle is a cute (if not dirty) boy who engages with the other characters in a very charming way. The language is completely reachable but not simple. The pace, as I mentioned, is fast. The story arc is tight and interesting. Not only do all four of us highly recommend this book to all ages, but we are expecting to give similarly high reviews to the next four (delicious) sequels in this series.

Why is Measle Stubbs so afraid of his guardian, Basil Tramplebone? Is it his slithering, hissing way? Might it be those pointed, yellow teeth? Probably most ten-year-old boys would not be happy living in the shadow of the strange and frightening Basil. But Measle has no choice, as he is an orphan and must now live miserably in his guardian's dark, cold house. The one nice thing is the room at the top of the house that contains a most marvelous train set. Sometimes, when Basil is working on the train, he allows Measle to watch. But despite these moments of happiness, Measle is terribly nervous about something that lurks overhead and seems to be watching his every move.

Measle's real adventure begins when he dares to play with Basil's train and is caught. The mad wizard, or "Wrathmonk," quickly shrinks Measle to the size of one of the little village people. It doesn't take long for the clever Measle to figure out that Basil has been doing some really evil spells and that many of the "villagers" are real people turned into plastic. He accidentally discovers that, by feeding them carrot bits, they can become real again. Becoming real helps them all realize that perhaps together they can escape from Basil's horrible spell. However, in order to do this, they must come up with intelligent plans and face some formidable adventures. By far the most fun comes when they reverse one of Wrathmonk's spells and turn him into a giant cockroach!

This is a fun little book with just the right amount of scary. Like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, it will be an especially popular selection for grades 4 through 6. There is a sequel on the way, so the adventures of Measle and his friends are just beginning.

--- Reviewed by Sally M. Tibbetts
This is a four CD set that my eight year old son and I listened to in the car. Oglivy's story is initially reminiscent of the juvenile works of Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket), where a hapless orphan is forced to live in squalor with a horrible guardian. That's where the resemblance ends, as Ogilvy's villain, Basil Tramplebone, isn't merely depraved---he also has potent supernatural abilities. But despite the official reviews, and the presence of a magical malefactor, this story owes less to Harry Potter than to Greek mythology, specifically the story of Perseus and the Gorgon Medusa.

Narrator Nicholas Grace does a reasonable job of creating distinct voices and accents for the characters in this exciting tale, but his Basil Tramplebone is brilliantly creepy and foul. The story's rapid tempo kept us engaged, and whenever we had to stop the CD, we'd try to guess what was going to happen next. Although some parts of the tale were a bit predictable, we were very pleasantly surprised to find that we were mistaken as often as we were correct.

The story does end happily, and we were pleased to discover that there are at least four sequels. We look forward to reading them all!
