The Curse of Captain Cross-eyed (Weird Street)

by Margaret Ryan (Author)

Synopsis

The paper boys on Weir Street don't normally stick around for long and he soon understands why ...It's definitely weirder than your average street. Who is the strange figure standing in the window of number 13? Is that a parrot on his shoulder? Jonny strikes up an unusual friendship with Captain Cross-eyed and even helps him to feel like a pirate that his sea-faring ancestors would be proud of! The Weird Street mini-series follows Jonny on his bizzare, scary and extremely unusual paper round, where he bumps into a whole range of oddballs and mysterious neighbours.
