Strange Happenings: Spine-Tingling Tales

By Avi

Book Overview

The perfect cozy-spooky middle-grade read, these eerie, spine-shivering tales from Newbery Medalist and bestselling author 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
