Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-7–In this companion to In the Land of the Lawn Weenies (Tom Doherty, 2003), Lubar takes kids' wishes and fantasies and shows how they might go horribly–even fatally–wrong. Most of the protagonists in these 35 short-short tales think that they cannot be surprised, which makes their shock when they meet the unexplainable more fun, and creepier. Many of the selections are told with a sly, satirical humor. Although a few pieces fall flat, the chilling ones far outweigh them. What if you discovered, for example, that when you recorded over your dad's boring videotapes of a family vacation or a school play, those events suddenly had never occurred? And what if you accidentally erased the videotape of your mother giving birth to you? Oh oh. Not for the sensitive or easily frightened, this book is perfect to hand to youngsters who want something to read after they've finished all of Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark titles (HarperCollins).–Walter Minkel, New York Public Library

From Booklist

Gr. 4-7. Lubar strikes again. As in his previous collection, In the Land of the Lawn Weenies and Other Warped and Creepy Tales (2003), he delivers a series of funny, often surreal short stories. In one of the selections, a boy's trip with his dad and younger brother to Take Your Child to Work Day ends disastrously when some copy-machine pranks erase a face as well as another popular anatomical copy-machine subject. In the title story, a boy finds the chilling truth about the joggers who pass unsmilingly by his school bus every day. All of the stories are fun, bite-size reads that deliver plenty of punch in just a few pages. At the end of the book, Lubar tells how he came up with the idea for each of his tales. Another winning roundup, of particular interest to reluctant readers. Todd Morning

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great book!, March 15, 2006
This book is the sequel to David Lubar's Land of the Lawn Weenies. Lubar does not focus on one story, but rather many short stories. Each story is meant to be scary to some degree, however I enjoyed Invasion of the Road Weenies more for it's creative and interesting stories. It's a nice light read and is great for any age that can read!

There are only a couple downs to this book, which is why it's four stars. First, the book is much shorter than Land of the Lawn Weenies. This book may not grab the attention of the reader because each story is not relevant to eachother, making no suspense after one story. Don't get me wrong though, it's still a great book!

Though the title seems a little odd, it's a great book to read anytime. I'm sure you will enjoy these short stories, and therefor, Lubar has just earned himself a four star review.

P.S. David's next title might be about bike weenies :P

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, June 11, 2007
By Barb (Michigan) - See all my reviews
My kids and I loved this book. It is full of great short stories. It would be a great book for a reluctant reader because the stories are so short. The reader can have many short, entertaining reading sessions without the chance of getting bored. While camping this past weekend my son retold many of stories from this book while we were sitting around the campfire. They really are great spooky campfire stories!
