The Extremely Weird Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls by Adam Cece & Andrew Weldon

In Huggabie Falls, something like having a maths teacher who’s also a witch is normal, because Huggabie Falls is the weirdest town on Earth. But then something extremely weird happens! Kipp Kindle and his best friends Tobias Treachery and Cymphany Chan must take on the evil scientist Felonius Dark, Weirdness Eradicator, and contend with all kinds of madness: killer vampire bats, Dutch werewolves and a Portuguese-speaking lab rat – anything to keep Huggabie Falls from becoming normal!

The Extremely Weird Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls is packed with twists, turns, quirky illustrations from Andrew Weldon and a hilarious narrator who will remind you of Lemony Snicket. When the great Andy Griffiths calls it ‘wonderfully weird and lots of fun,’ you know you’re in for big laughs and crazy adventures.

The Extremely Weird Thing That Happened in Huggabie Falls is the Winner of the 2017 Text Prize for Young Adult and Children’s Writing and is the first in the Huggabie Falls trilogy.
