About the book: When the Weirdies’ parents come back from the dead, chaos ensues in this darkly humorous sequel to the nationally bestselling The Weirdies, perfect for fans of The Swifts and A Series of Unfortunate Events!
The Weirdie triplets are miserable, and their horrible parents are to blame. Barnacle, Melancholy, and Garlic have been burdened with the arduous chore of finding their bank-robbing grandfather’s lost fortune hidden somewhere in the Weirdie mansion. Deadeye Manor was built around a whole entire bank, and their parents want every last penny.
But the triplets long to be reunited with Miss Emily, the lovely adoptive mother they were ripped away from. Undeterred, she’ll stop at nothing to get her three mischievous children back, even if it means sneaking into Deadeye manor itself, where hooligans and criminals are now taking up residence!
Will the Weirdies and Miss Emily find their way back to each other, or are they doomed to never see one another again?
