Bookweirdest
CONTINUING THE ADVENTURES OF A BOY WHO GETS MIXED UP IN THE PLOTS OF THE BOOKS HE READS, THIS IS THE THIRD TITLE IN THE YOUNG ADULT TRILOGY FROM ONE OF CANADA’S MOST ORIGINAL AND ACCLAIMED NOVELISTS
“What a delicious concept Bookweird is, and what a fantastic writer we have in Paul Glennon.” — THE GLOBE AND MAIL
a young adult novel by Paul Glennon
Norman has woken up in a world that seems a lot like his own, but with some notable differences. Cats can talk, for example. His sister owns a horse, and, most shockingly, his father has gone. No one but Norman seems surprised by these developments. He's almost lulled into believing that it's all real until Malcolm, his best friend (who happens to be a stoat), arrives. Malcolm has some dark clues that persuade Norman that he must once and for all discover the secrets about Bookweird in order to save the day and his family.
PRAISE FOR BOOKWEIRDEST
“I believe that Bookweirdest is one of the best books I ever read. Bookweirdest is the third book of a trilogy, but you don’t need to read the other books to enjoy this one. I think that Bookweirdest would be good for ages 10-15 or anyone who loves adventure, mystery or fantasy books.” — Lucy Paine, age 12, reviewing for THE NATIONAL POST
“This, the third and final book in the series, is very much about the power of writing … Glennon ties up all the loose threads in a satisfying manner. Strong fantasy readers or lovers of historical fiction will enjoy the worlds created in these three books.” — CM MAGAZINE
