Strange Happenings (Spine-Tingling Tales)

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!
