Tales from Weird Street cover

Quirky tales of derring-do and mystery, from a much-loved author and multi-award-winning author. Perfect to thrill and chill.

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 struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8+

"So cleverly constructed, so skilfully told that it builds almost imperceptibly to a climax that will leave readers gasping … these stories … will stay with readers for far longer than the time it takes to read them" – LoveReading4Kids

"This masterclass in storytelling from a distinguished author is fascinating, entertaining and just creepy enough to leave readers feeling a little bit uneasy" – BookTrust

"It's a clever way to bring together a collection of stories and they are all highly enjoyable" – Parents in Touch, Blog
