Strange Happenings: Spine-Tingling Tales - Avi (Illustrated by Devin Forst)

Strange Happenings: Spine-Tingling Tales

(Author: Avi | Illustrator: Devin Forst)

Five spooky, uncanny tales from Newbery Medalist and master storyteller Avi—now illustrated for the first time with a brand-new bonus story and exclusive author's note!

Step into a world where the ordinary slips away and the strange takes over. In this newly illustrated collection, children transform into cats, a young girl discovers she has become completely invisible, and a desperate man enters into a chilling bargain with the Devil himself.

Combining startling originality with the cozy intimacy of classic campfire tales, Avi explores eerie swaps, mysterious transformations, and what happens when you accidentally trade places with someone—or something—else.

Enhanced with haunting, moody black-and-white artwork by Devin Forst, Strange Happenings is a spine-tingling read for middle-grade readers who love spooky mysteries, urban legends, and supernatural turns.
