Freaky Stuff




A strange but true story about annoying little brothers, zombies, fairies and freaky stuff. (And it’s funny, too!)

A strange but true story about annoying little brothers, zombies, fairies and freaky stuff. (And it’s funny, too!)

Brian Hobble here. My next fantastically brilliant book, FREAKY STUFF, is about all these scary things that happen to me. It's so freaky, spine-tingling, nerve-racking and gut-churning, it's incredible I'm still alive to tell you about it. In FREAKY STUFF, I have to escape from a savage dog as big as a sabre-toothed tiger, rollerblade down a ramp from 17,000,000,000 kilometres high, rescue my stupid little brother from flesh-eating zombies and, most totally terrifying of all, kiss a girl. I'm not saying who. Nobody you know. No really, I swear, you don't know her. Prepare to be freaked. Very freaked!

Praise for Freaky Stuff

Brilliant... It was so easy to read (but hard to put down). I loved the way it was funny but had meaning... It’s alot like Morris Gleitzman books... It made me feel like laughing out loud. I’d love to read more.

Samantha Goth, age 11, Random House Book Buddies

I liked the book very much. I think it’s the zombie bits that are really cool... I couldn’t stop reading it, it was so cool.

Natasha Riebel, age 8, Random House Book Buddies

My favourite part of the story was when Brian and Sebastian were dressed as fairies and everyone was looking at them... I loved all the characters but I liked Brian the best because of all the funny things he did... It was one of the best books I have ever read.
