Description

 

A high-energy, brilliantly silly, fully illustrated collection of weird and wonderful linked short stories by much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented artist Anita Mangan.

Welcome to Weird Street…

what appears to be a very ordinary place, filled with very ordinary houses and very ordinary people…

but wait.

When Sarah moves to the street and sees a cat prowling up and down, she decides to find its owner and return it. She knocks on each door and discovers a wonderfully weird and a little bit dangerous array of delights within:

from a haunted painting to a headmaster whose alter ego is a clown, to a jet-powered garden swing, a ghost-pet adoption agency and a wild hall of mirrors.

  • Short stories starring the unexpected inhabitants of the houses on Weird Street – bite-size, page-turning tales perfect for less confident readers
  • From the bestselling creators of The Fart That Changed the World and The Day I Fell Down the Toilet
  • Incredibly funny and wildly imaginative storytelling at its finest 

 

Praise for Stephen & Anita’s books:

“Brilliant, clever, kind of genius” Graham Norton

 “Manages to feel both classic and modern at the same time” Good Housekeeping

 “A beautiful and exciting adventure that ignites the imagination” Edith Bowman

 

Stephen Mangan is a bestselling author, actor and presenter. His comic gift is seen in shows such as Green Wing, I’m Alan Partridge and Episodes.

Stephen appears in drama such as BBC One’s The Split and regularly performs on stage in roles such as a much-praised Scrooge in The Old Vic’s A Christmas Carol. Stephen presents Portrait and Landscape Artist of the Year and new gameshows Password and The Fortune Hotel. He is a guest presenter on Pointless and Have I Got News for You.

Anita Mangan is a successful illustrator and designer whose remarkable artwork sparks with wit and style. She worked for Comic Relief before becoming a designer and illustrator. Since then, she has worked on award-winning books and the bestselling “Be a Unicorn, Sloth, Flamingo…” series – as well as illustrating Stephen’s children’s novels.

Stephen and Anita have appeared together on Celebrity Gogglebox
