When a young boy decides to challenge the popular old saying about stepping on cracks in the sidewalk, he comes to find out that it is a valid warning as a number of weird and strange things suddenly begin to happen in his life.

Colin McNaughton is the author and illustrator of the popular Preston Pig books.
PreS-Gr 1-The superstition that it is bad luck to step on a crack in the sidewalk is the premise for this tongue-in-cheek, "what if" story. A boy is warned of the dire consequences of not heeding the old adage. Readers learn of the preposterous outcomes that might occur, such as turning into a girl, his dad deciding to become a hippie, his baby brother growing fangs, discovering that his best friend is really a monster in disguise, and on and on. Cartoonlike illustrations in water-based ink complement the zaniness of this rather slight picture book.
