Welcome to Weird Street...

what appears to be a very ordinary place, filled with very ordinary houses and very ordinary people...

but wait.

When Sarah moves to the street and sees a cat prowling up and down, she decides to find its owner and return it. She knocks on each door and discovers a wonderfully weird and a little bit dangerous array of delights within:

from a haunted painting to a headmaster whose alter ego is a clown, to a jet-powered garden swing, a ghost-pet adoption agency and a wild hall of mirrors.

• Short stories starring the unexpected inhabitants of the houses on Weird Street - bite-size, page-turning tales perfect for less confident readers
• From the bestselling creators of The Fart That Changed the World and The Day I Fell Down the Toilet
• Incredibly funny and wildly imaginative storytelling at its finest
