What's The Weirdies About

Publisher Summary

From the bestselling author of the Sisters Grimm comes a hilarious tale of the Weirdie triplets–three VERY weird siblings–and their journey to find true family, perfect for fans of the Swifts and a Series of Unfortunate Events. ​Ten-year-old triplets Barnacle, Melancholy, and Garlic Weirdie grew up in a town plagued by relentless meteor showers. Their home, Deadeye Manor, is an enormous, bleak mansion filled with hundreds of eccentric houseguests and one set of emotionally distant (some would say sociopathic) parents. Until the entire group of grown-ups goes on vacation, forgetting to bring the children. The three siblings are sent to Our Lady of the Perpetual Side-Eye orphanage, where they meet Miss Emily, a sweet and loving caseworker who attempts to smooth their rough edges. The triplets, however, are truly weird–causing chaos and mayhem in their adoptive home on picture-perfect Sunshine Circle. Will the Weirdies and Miss Emily become the family they all desperately need, or will it end in disaster for everyone?
