Description
It's a dangerous thing, your imagination.
The sequel to the bestselling graphic novel, THE ODDS
The Woman in the Suit is here. She wants to know about the ten odd characters who escaped Kip's imagination and now live with Kip and her dad in their two-bedroom apartment.
She's asking questions Kip doesn't want to answer.
NOW THE ODDS ARE ON THE RUN!
The problem is ... Lance the rabbit and Ninja-Nina are duelling, Racer's trying to drive, Booster the rooster wants to leave and Unicorn and the family cat are not getting along. Kip is hiding secrets from her dad, Diana the dinosaur keeps giving her a fright and the Woman in the Suit seems to know their every move.
From million-copy bestseller Matt Stanton comes another hilarious and heart-filled story about imagination, anxiety and accepting ourselves.
PRAISE FOR THE ODDS
'Stanton writes with a fine balance of humor and pathos ... Nuanced explorations of grief and self-discovery temper all the weirdness in this odd and oddly satisfying story.' -- Kirkus Reviews
'Perfect for independent readers aged seven and up ... filled with Stanton's trademark humour and irreverence, embedded with themes of friendship, family and identity.' -- Books + Publishing
'Matt Stanton is rapidly becoming one of the decade's most sought-after authors by young, newly independent readers who like his humour that is always tempered with a good, solid storyline ... this is a book that has depth as well as diversity and carries a message that will reach out to even the most reluctant reader.' -- The Bottom Shelf
