OUR WEIRD WORLD
The ‘Our Weird World’ series is a collection of surprising, suspenseful and strange stories for middle grade readers – children aged 8-12. Each story reveals how the young main character’s life is dramatically changed when they encounter The Invisible Emporium and the strange people who visit it.
There are four stories so far: Archie & The Invisible Emporium, Door To Door Sally, Spring-Heeled James and Ghosts Caught On Cameron.
A kind of ‘Stranger Things’ for kids, these books mix real-world problems with paranormal themes and will appeal to fans of Harry Potter, Skulduggery Pleasant, Keeper Of The Lost Cities and The Dark Is Rising, as well as authors like Ross Wexford, B.B. Alston, Garth Nix and Jennifer Killick. You can read the series in any order.
I was very chuffed that Ghosts Caught On Cameron was a finalist in the 2024 Wishing Shelf Book Awards for independent authors!
