Me and the Weirdos

Cindy Krinkle feels like the only normal person in her family. When Roger Snooterman first tells Cindy her family is weird, she denies it. But then she realizes he’s right! Her mother does cartwheels everywhere, gargles with orange juice, and changed her name to Squirrel. Her father rides to work on a bike with an umbrella while singing opera off-key. Her sister collects can labels and has a sea urchin for a pet. Follow Cindy on her embarrassing but hilarious adventures as she tries to “unweird” her family! Beloved by children and their parents around the world since 1981, the middle grade novel ME AND THE WEIRDOS by Jane Sutton was originally published in hardcover by Houghton Mifflin, in paperback by Bantam Books, and in French by Éditions de L’amitié. HONORS: • ALA-CBC Children’s Choice • Utah Children’s Book Award • Arizona Children’s Book Award nominee. This new edition, featuring illustrations by Doreen Buchinski, is better than ever!

Author of 11 books for children, Jane Sutton is a writing teacher, tutor and school presenter. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Class Comedienne, perhaps a rare combination. Jane and her husband, Alan, live in Lexington, Massachusetts. Their grown son and daughter and their families all live in the Boston area, despite Jane's having frequently embarrassed her children when they were growing up. Jane's website: www.jane-sutton.com
