Reviews

"Whoever thinks the short story is dead, or that kids don't like short stories, haven't talked to any real live kids and haven't read the latest is this popular series." --School Library Journal on Attack of the Vampire Weenies "Lubar's creativity is still going strong in these 35 short stories that present suspenseful, surreal tales. These scary stories and urban legends will delight reluctant and ravenous readers alike." --Booklist on The Battle of the Red Hot Pepper Weenies "This book will talk itself right off the shelves, and reluctant readers will devour it." --School Library Journal on The Curse of the Campfire Weenies "Another cool collection. This would be perfect to read around a campfire--or at any sleepover. They are creepy, but also hilarious." --Detroit Free Press on The Curse of the Campfire Weenies "Lubar strikes again. Another winning round-up." --Booklist on Invasion of the Road Weenies "Pleasingly short, well-crafted pieces...mixes the comic and the creepy, the merely weird with the truly haunting." --San Francisco Chronicle on Invasion of the Road Weenies "These stories creeped us out -- and we loved it. Four stars!" --Chicago Tribune on In the Land of the Lawn Weenies
