Description

Freaky Families by Diana Wynne Jones is a humorous and heartwarming collection of two stories about children learning to navigate their families. In these two quirky tales, two groups of kids discover that while they can choose their friends, dealing with their family members can be quite challenging. In the first story, THE FOUR GRANNIES, two children are left alone for a couple of days and must contend with four very different grandmas. Despite initial attempts to avoid them, the children inadvertently turn all the grannies into one 'Super-Granny'. In the second story, AUNTIE BEA'S DAY OUT, Annoying Auntie Bea takes three children on an unexpected adventure to a magical island, where they must navigate her eccentric plans and find a way to escape. These two entertaining stories showcase Diana Wynne Jones's signature blend of humor, magic, and relatable family dynamics.
