The Fork-Tongued Princess - A princess with a forked-tongue learns several lessons about life and love. Soon comes a story of greed and loss -though not on the side you'd think. A group of hungry cannibals move in next door and are willing to pay. The Splendid Cannibal - A population of peculiars can regrow limbs at will. ![]() As with the original series, the powers are inventive, the plot is quirky and the stories are fun. ![]() There weren't as many stories as I expected (only 10). Throughout the Peculiar Children series, they refer to this storybook. I am (generally) not a fan of tie-in novels but consider me converted. ![]()
