Strange Happenings

The per­fect cozy-spooky mid­dle-grade read, these eerie, spine-shiv­er­ing tales from Avi are illus­trat­ed for the first time and include a nev­er-before-pub­lished sto­ry and author’s note.

In this uncan­ny col­lec­tion, chil­dren change into cats, a girl dis­cov­ers she is invis­i­ble, a man makes a deal with the Dev­il him­self, and mul­ti­ple trans­for­ma­tions, strange and chill­ing, explore what it might be like to exchange places with some­one — or some­thing — else. Young read­ers will be spell­bound by Avi’s mas­ter­ful sto­ry­telling, as the cel­e­brat­ed writer com­bines his unique cre­ativ­i­ty and star­tling orig­i­nal­i­ty with the inti­ma­cy of goose­bump-induc­ing camp­fire tales. Devin Forst’s haunt­ing — and per­fect­ly cal­i­brat­ed — black-and-white illus­tra­tions help turn these engross­ing sto­ries into an irre­sistible package!
