Freaky Stuff is the sequel to and very similar to it’s better predecessor Weird Stuff. Middle-schooler Brian Hobble is once again caught in a situation over which he has little control but must somehow figure out how to deal. Brian’s younger brother is over the moon about a mindless TV adaptation of one of Brian’s favorite book series – Zombie Squad. Brian has to figure out how to protect his little brother and, as only Tulloch could conceive, it is Brian’s fear of heights, his awful performance in a juice drink commercial, and the help of a very sweet peer of Brian’s younger brother that combine in Freaky Stuff to help Brian save the day. Both of the “Stuff” books remind one of Captain Underpants or Wimpy Kid although Tulloch’s content and humor is much more sophisticated. That said, I’m not sure how much tween appeal there is for leisure reading. Either book, but particularly the first, would make interesting recommendations to Language Arts teachers for their clever writing.
