Enter the Bizarre Bazaar, a chilling graphic novel series sure to startle, shock, and scare you! In this third terrifying tale, a boy finds himself trapped in a Fairyland zoo with no way out.
 

Eleven-year-old Santiago does not play well with others. He’s arrogant, rude, and selfish—both on and off the soccer field. And he sees no reason to change. He’s a winner, after all.
 
But following a run-in with Babs and Bruno, the mysterious merchants of the Bizarre Bazaar, Santi learns that not every game is his to win. It takes only one hum on a shoplifted kazoo, and Santi is magically transported to a zoo in a frightening alternate world called Fairyland. The other inhabitants—vicious Fair Folk, flying monkeys, a not-so-sweet Candy Elf, and more—have it out for him. And then there’s the talkative younger girl who insists he’s her boyfriend! 
 
Santi is desperate to find a way home. But to escape, he’ll have to learn to be part of a team. Otherwise, he’ll be trapped in the fairy zoo forever…
  
Reader, beware: In this spine-tingling graphic novel series, nothing is ever as it seems!

  • Praise for The Bizarre Bazaar: Mirror Town
  • "A successfully creepy tale that steadily builds tension till the end...A promising start to a Twilight Zone–like new series for the early-middle-grade lot."
    Booklist
  • "Nayeri’s cleverly structured narrative, paired with Enright’s bright, retro-style cartoons, sets a tone that’s by turns cavalier and chilling, delighting in mortal foibles and offering unexpected revelations."
    Kirkus
  • "Enright’s bold and brightly colored illustrations add dynamic movement to this freewheeling, wish-fulfilling adventure, which suggests that too much of a good thing can be as dangerous as it is exciting."
