Description: Cannon ( Oddity ) weaves a sense of 1980s Spielbergian wonder and danger into the cinematic narrative: while handling an array of bizarre creatures produced from the imagination, the kids forge an easy friendship based on creativity over logic. A playful, wry humor tempers the more frightening moments, while Cannon maintains a feeling of urgency and high stakes well suited to middle grade readers." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review Praise for Sarah Cannon's Oddity: "This book grabbed me from page one. Wild, whacky, and yet utterly believable. You will love Ada and Oddity !" --Sage Blackwood, author of Jinx "Sarah Cannon is puppet master of this delightfully dark and hilariously creepy debut. Herein, you'll find excitement, adventure, and heart--and I don't just mean the kind you'd be likely to discover, still beating (perhaps even beatboxing), in a jar at the local Oddity grocery." --Heidi Schulz, New York Times bestselling-author of Hook's Revenge "Readers will be hooked from the first page. . . . Featuring a diverse cast of characters, this fantasy is chock-full of adventure and agency, making it a must-buy and a must-read for most middle graders." -- School Library Journal "Utterly endearing. A charming, enjoyable thrill ride with memorable characters, crazy creatures, and a theme about the importance of family." -- Booklist
