The Freak Street books are amazing. They are wonderfully written with playful pictures. The stories are a novel but are broken up between a couple of half pages of writing and then the next couple of pages are cartoons with captioning which i feel breaks the story up which gives the children more time to look at the pictures and take it all in.
My daughter absolutely loved these two books. As she is rather young for these books herself i read them to her. The books also have a few quirky additions in them for the adults to understand, as the children of today wont know who The New Kids On The Block are, or Aretha Franklin so adults can enjoy the books too.
Aliensons' Time Machine is where the Alienson family buy a Time Hopper and hopped 1000years into the future. Go in time with the Aliensons' and explore the future with all the twists and turns!
Humansons' Time Machine is where Harriet Humanson is trying to get her family to bath in something other than Vegetable Soup. She invented the Wash 'n Clean Machine, except something went horribly wrong - they ended up in prehistoric times! Come and follow the Humansons' journey and find out if they ever get back to Freak Street.
I will definitely be recommending this series, and will be buying the Wizardsons' Time Machine and Zombiesons' Time Machine to complete the series.
