Embracing the Weird

In an age when digital technology dominates our children’s time and attention, it has never been more important to find books to stimulate their imagination; to inspire a sense of adventure and independence. To help kids understand that it’s okay to be different. And that sometimes being different is what makes something or someone special. The 'Huggabie Falls' Trilogy by Adam Cece does exactly that. These stories follow the adventures of Kipp Kindle, Tobias Treachery and Cymphany Chan, who, at least in Book 1, take it upon themselves to solve the mystery of the extremely weird thing that happened in their hometown of Huggabie Falls, the weirdest town on Earth. They embark on an heroic, crazy adventure, finding vegetarian piranhas, killer vampire bats and a creepy scientist along the way. And in the process, come to understand who they really are. When renown Australian children's author, Andy Griffiths says a kids book is 'wonderfully weird and lots of fun', you know it's going to be good. Books 1 and 2 in the series are out now.
