The Curse of the Campfire Weenies: And Other Warped and Creepy Tales

Thirty-five spooky and silly stories featuring vampires, ghosts, math teachers, and other monsters, from the award-winning author of Invasion of the Road 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

A boy discovers the answer to one of the great urban mysteries: why are pigeons always pooping in parks? A second-grade class learns why they should always be nice to their math teacher . . . An ancient predator uses the internet to search out its prey . . . A young girl and her little brother escape a campfire weenie only to encounter something even more terrifying: a troop of Girl Scouts singing campfire songs.

For this, his third collection of warped and creepy "weenie" tales, critically-acclaimed author and master of the macabre David Lubar traveled deep into the shadowy corners of his mind, looking for new ways to amuse and terrify his readers. And in the tradition of In the Land of the Lawn Weenies and Invasion of the Road Weenies, he reveals the inspiration behind each of the thirty-five stories at the end of the book.

"This book will talk itself right off the shelves, and reluctant readers will devour it." —School Library Journal
