Unbearable! by Paul Jennings


'The bird's perch is swinging to and fro and hitting me on the nose'



Unbearably weird...
You have the foulest feet ever.
There are flies for lunch.
A goat swallows your opal.
And you have lived before.

Qiurky Tails by Paul Jennings


'"I've never seen anything like it before," said the hypnotist. "You say he had a perfectly normal mouth yesterday?".


Quirky? You can say that again.
A face on your tonsils.
A headless chicken.
Life with an undertaker.
A living copy- of yourself.

Unseen! by Paul Jennings


'Every day after school Grumble sticks his finger up at me.'


Stare if you dare...
Can the dead come back to life?
Could you escape a man-eating ghost?
Who are you if you are not yourself?
Can you cheat the fate that awaits you?
