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.
Great for Ages 8-11.

In July 2012, aged thirty, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery - a process she chronicled with unflinching honesty in a serialised national newspaper column. Trans tells of her life to the present moment: a story of growing up, of defining yourself, and of the rapidly changing world of gender politics. Fresh from university, eager to escape a dead-end job and launch a career as a writer, she navigates the treacherous waters of a world where, even in the liberal and feminist media, transgender identities go unacknowledged, misunderstood or worse. Revealing, honest,humorous, and self-deprecating, Trans includes an epilogue with Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?
