Do you ever wonder why you've bought something you didn't really need? Maybe, just maybe, you were affected by the hypnotizing advert from Strange Town!

When Logan's parents return from the new megastore, Spend-A-Lot, with nothing but junk, Logan and Eva can't understand why they seem elated with their new purchases until the bright, flashing lights appear on the TV...

"Come down now to Spend-A-Lot! Your new, friendly, local, super-happy megastore. We have everything you need at low prices. So why don't you come on down and buy, buy, buy?"

Shopping Spree is one of eight comical stories in Danny Pearson's new series Strange Town. With many years of experience writing and editing titles specifically for reluctant readers, he knows what will capture their attention and has skilfully written these titles to be accessible for 9-12 year olds with a reading age of 7-8.

Danny has joined forces with the fabulous illustrator, Steve Beckett. Together they have developed a series full of weird and wonderful characters, imaginative plots and an altogether fun series that will have your pupils giggling all day long!
