Cannon (Oddity) weaves a sense of 1980s Spielbergian wonder and danger into the cinematic narrative: while handling an array of bizarre creatures produced from the imagination, the kids forge an easy friendship based on creativity over logic. A playful, wry humor tempers the more frightening moments, while Cannon maintains a feeling of urgency and high stakes well suited to middle grade readers." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Wacky and creative, packed with light horror and humor, Cannon’s sophomore novel is a great fit for readers not yet ready for Stranger Things, complete with a Dungeons & Dragons–playing older sister and a monster showdown set in an arcade."-Booklist

"Featuring a diverse group of characters that readers will engage with and a story that is nonstop action, this is a kooky and fun read with tons of imagination." -School Library Journal

Praise for Sarah Cannon's Oddity:

"This book grabbed me from page one. Wild, whacky, and yet utterly believable. You will love Ada and Oddity!" -Sage Blackwood, author of Jinx

"Sarah Cannon is puppet master of this delightfully dark and hilariously creepy debut. Herein, you'll find excitement, adventure, and heart-and I don't just mean the kind you’d be likely to discover, still beating (perhaps even beatboxing), in a jar at the local Oddity grocery." -Heidi Schulz, New York Times bestselling-author of Hook's Revenge

"Readers will be hooked from the first page. . . . Featuring a diverse cast of characters, this fantasy is chock-full of adventure and agency, making it a must-buy and a must-read for most ­middle graders." -School Library Journal

"Utterly endearing. A charming, enjoyable thrill ride with memorable characters, crazy creatures, and a theme about the importance of family." -Booklist
