The suburbs are presented in a unique way in fifteen odd, whimsical, and haunting stories. Whether it is an "old palace garden" discovered inside a house or an expedition to the literal edge of a suburb, these tales follow children's lives on the margins of suburbia-the overgrown lots, movie theaters, highway underpasses, backyards, and sidewalks. These everyday spaces are invaded by a water buffalo, walking stick figures, a man in a diving suit, and other surprises. Full-color illustrations. A 2010 ALA Notable Children's Book.
