Synopsis

Unlike the rest of her family, Pearl Wolfbane is neat and tidy and is delighted to note that everyone else in Primrose Drive - the street into which her unconventional family has just moved - is normal, too. She does her best to keep her room neat and tidy amid the chaos the others are wreaking. When the Wolbanes' neighbours, the Rigid-Smythes, return home to No. 33 a few days later, Dudley Rigid-Smythe is horrified. He'd hoped to buy No. 34 and turn it into flats, but that's impossible now that it looks like a film-set of a second-rate horror movie. The two families are set for a collision course, especially when it seems that each of the daughters is much better suited to living in the other's house ...

 Book Overview: Karen Wallace is renowned for her madcap humour and inventiveness, skills which are deftly employed in this new story - her first for Black Cats. First paperback edition - will be eagerly lapped up by children who enjoy funny stories with a slightly spooky, surreal edge. Karen Wallace's reputation has soared in recent years. Her Guardian-award shortlisting has increased her profile. An earlier title, Think of an Eel was winner of the Kurt Maschler Award, the TES Junior Information Book Award and the Earthworm Award. Publishing rights to her next full-length novel, yet to be written, will be the subject of a major auction.
