Quirky tales of derring-do and mystery that both thrill and chill, from a much-loved and multi-award-winning author.
The children of Weir(d) Street are lazing about one sunny day when they challenge each other to tell stories of all the odd goings-on in their neighbourhood. A grandfather's guilt at the long-ago death of his twin brother, a young waiter whose rude customers get more than they bargain for, and a hard-working boy who finds himself blessed by a golden-haired stranger – the Weird Street tales are full of drama and suspense!
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
