The Quirks are a rather special family with rather magical powers and, sometimes, when the Quirks are involved, things don't quite go to plan!
Just as the Quirks are settling in to Normal, the circus comes to town! At school, Molly, Penelope and Finn are all learning how to juggle, tightrope walk and fly the trapeze! Meanwhile, at home they are putting similar skills to good use . . . It takes fancy footwork to keep their nosy neighbour, Mrs DeVille, from snooping around and uncovering the Quirk family secrets - not to mention their family's pet monster, Nibblet! One thing's for sure: life in Normal is a high-flying adventure!
"Molly and Penelope's desire to fit in rings true, especially in their fourth-grade class. The story develops easily and quickly as readers get to know the characters. Black-and-white illustrations scattered throughout lend comical flair." --"School Library Journal"
"Super-fun, super-cute and super-hilarious. I wish I were a Quirk!" --Sarah Mlynowski, bestselling author of the Whatever After series, on "The Quirks: Welcome to Normal"
"I sped through this book--I couldn't put it down! I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in this great new series." --Jack & Jill Read, "US Kids Magazine," on "The Quirks: Welcome to Normal"
"I was surprised and delighted by this book . . . really creative, full of heart, and not sickly sweet.

I think this is the one!" --Kiss the Book blog on "The Quirks: Welcome to Normal"
