Summary
“An extraordinary book.” (Lemony Snicket, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events)
Lovers of Roald Dahl and Louis Sachar's Sideways Stories from Wayside School will be captivated by the adventures of this very special group of friends who live on the same street.
In this delightful chapter book, you'll meet Jamal, Lindalee, Hans, Matteo, and others - the kids who live on Cattywampus Street, not far from the Waddlebee Toy Store.
Each of the 11 chapters in this magical, mysterious, silly, scary, happy, and sometimes sad chapter book tells an utterly unforgettable tale about one of the kids. Whether it's about Jamal and his magic ball, which knows how to find him after its been stolen away; or Charlotta, who shrinks so small that she can fit inside her dollhouse; or Rodney, whose pet rock becomes the envy of all the kids on Cattywampus Street, here are stories sure to charm, captivate, and engage all listeners of chapter books, even the most reluctant.
Critic reviews
“As I read this book, I felt so happy, sad, frightened, and confused that I wondered if I’d lost my mind. As we know, this is a sign of an extraordinary book.” (Lemony Snicket, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events)
“You won't know what's coming at you in these stories, but you will know that you’re with a master storyteller who is going to take you on a remarkable ride - so hold on tight!” (Gary D. Schmidt, author of Newbery Honor Book The Wednesday Wars)
“This quirky, often bizarre story collection follows the lives of kids who live on Cattywampus Street, described as 'long and twisty, way out in the middle of Nowheresville'. It is home to a diverse cast of kids who experience a mix of silly, scary, weird, and magical events.” (School Library Journal)
