Dweebville and Other Stories Mike McCracken

Warning: Dweebville is really weird. It was written on purpose. The Dweebs do things so opening the book can be dangerous because you let the Dweebs out. They already did things. True Story: "A woman was driving down the freeway listening to a Dweeb CD and almost wrecked her car because the Dweebs made her laugh to hard. She had to pull over." The narrator is like the main character and tells the story and gets most everything wrong so you do not know what is going to happen. He is really smart because the Dweebs teach him and don't even know they are doing it. Like, watching a broken down TV. The narrator gets really excited. The Dweebs even have a mom that can talk. When the Dweebs do things in the book, it really gets exciting doesn't it? Basically, Dweebville is about taking something very boring and really making it funny, interesting and weird. Dweebville is actually a dead end street with 2 houses on it. The Dweebs house and the Human house make up Dweebville. There are exactly 3 Dweebs and 3 human kids and the Dweebs mom living there. So, you can imagine the excitement when they have a great celebration and the human kids leave riding their tricycles leaving only the 3 Dweebs. Dweebville is also illustrated with unusual pictures. The Dweebs house is actually an open box with balloons in it with smoke coming out of the chimney. It also has a pair of glasses on it so you know it's the Dweebs house. A fully orchestrated audio CD with voices and sound effects is available for Dweebville. There are other stories also: Nothingville where a man comes to town and sells nothing with the same narrator. The town gets really mad at him for selling nothing because you are supposed to sell something. Betterville, where a man comes to town and sells magic water for a dime and it really does make your life better. Why would the people get mad? About the narrator and how he thinks. The Impossible, about the write brothers inventing the first air plane. The narrator
