Meet the Humanson family of Freak Street.

Yes, they've trained their pet slug to belly dance. Yes, Harriet Humanson invented the 'Toffee Tie.' And yes, they're looking for a new pet...at the zoo! A killer whale perhaps? But that's nothing out of the ordinary, right?

Annual Pet Day is coming up, but their pet Horace is sick! Can the Humansons train a new pet in time? And what's happened to guest judge, animal-loving TV star, Woof Barkwel? Can one of Harriet's inventions save the day?

About the Freak Street Series

Reading age: 7+ years

Let's just say that on Freak Street there are some unusual families...

There are the Aliensons - just your average purple, one-eyed family from the planet Valvax-7. There are the Zombiesons. Slightly spooky, but forget terrorising graveyards and eating flesh, they prefer to eat takeaway in front of the TV. Let's not forget the Humansons - they're a little like you and me, only a lot more stupid! The Wizardsons have magic powers, a pet dragon and live in a giant mushroom! The Vampiresons are sharp-fanged vegetarians with a pet bat. And, finally, the Supersons all have mega-bizarro superhero powers and watch over Freak Street from their humungous skyscraper!

Filled with Knife & Packer's trademark colourful illustrations and bizarre humour, 'Freak Street' will be a hit with fans of 'Captain Underpants' or Andy Griffiths.
