Logan is not exactly happy about having to move to a town in the middle of nowhere. It looks funny, it smells funny and it even feels funny, if that�۪s possible?
Everyone, and everything, in this town just doesn�۪t seem right, but no one seems to care or even notice. Everyone, that is, apart from Eva.
She has spent years collecting evidence of the weird goings-on in Strange Town.
Eva, Logan and his dog, Otis, are the Strange Town Squad ��� always ready and on the look out for all things odd. You are about to find out that some towns can be stranger than others.
