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.

"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
