Customer Reviews

Great, But Where's the Series?

My 9 year old was very excited about this book and could hardly put it down. He especially loved all the strange but true tidbits, and the occasional photo helped hold interest, I'm sure. The problem? This book is touted as the first in a series for the "Weird Club",but it's been almost a year and no follow-up. He was ready to read more ASAP -- and disappointed to have to wait. But now, what's the deal? Who publishes a book as part of a new series, and isn't set to go to press with the second one, at least, right on its heels?

I couldn't put it down

I am a third grader and I thought the book was such a fun book to read. It was kind of scary and had lots of interesting stories in it. I am telling all my friends to read it - its a great book!
