Weerdest Day Ever by Richard Scrimger

29394209The Seven Series is where my blog began.  It was also my first published book review in my local newspaper.  I LOVE this series!  I have driven dark snowy roads to see the seven authors on stage-if the seven appear near you - definitely go and bring the kids.  I've tracked them down at book festivals for autographs - they are all friendly!  I also sport a Seven shirt down the school halls.  I keep the series front and centre at my library for everyone to gravitate too and easy to point and recommend.  I've also convinced a few non-reading adult men to give the series a try.  For the back story of this series check out my first blog post here.

In the first series Richard Scrimger introduced us to Bunny through Ink Me.  Bunny's beloved grandfather has just passed away and left a series of tasks for all his grandsons.  Bunny is going to get the tattoo that his grandfather never did.

In the second book the seven cousins have met at their grandfather's cottage to discuss all their adventures while completing the tasks.  While they are there though they discover some secrets about their grandfather that lead the cousins off on another set of adventures.  Read more about this book on my  The Wolf and Me blog post here.

In the Weerdest Day Ever, Bunny is older and for a school assignment he writes the story of a weekend camping trip with his grandfather.  Bunny's grandfather has promised a big surprise for the weekend.  It doesn't take Bunny long to find out that there is a war planned between Canada and the United States and it's taking place at the campsite this weekend!  Everyone seems so excited about it but Bunny finds it scary.  Bunny makes some new friends and enemies while they wait for the big battle to begin.

While maintaining the innocence of Bunny, I am happy to say that his spelling has improved with age.  I look forward to reading the other cousins stories of experiences they had with their grandfather.

The most series are prequels and will be published by Orca Book Publishers in September 2016.
