With a snicker of Snicket, a dollop of the Munsters, and a healthy dose of Southern charm, NYT bestselling author Natalie Lloyd introduces The Problim Children, a middle-grade series about seven strange siblings all born on a different day of the week and the neighbors who keep trying to tear their family apart.
Tell me a tale worth telling back.
When the Problims' beloved bungalow in the Swampy Woods goes kaboom, the seven siblings have no choice but to move into their grandpa's abandoned old house in Lost Cove. No problem! For the Problim children, every problem is a gift.
Wendell and Thea -- twins born two minutes apart on a Wednesday and a Thursday -- see the move as a chance to make new friends in time for their birthday cake smash. But the neighbors find the Problims' return problematic -- what with Sal's foggy garden full of Wrangling Ivy, toddler Toot's 365 stanktastic f*rt varieties, and Mona's human catapult.
Truth be told, rumors are flying about the Problims! Rumors of a bitter feud, a treasure, and a certain kind of magic that lingers in the halls of #7 Main Street. And the neighbors will do anything to get their hands on those secrets -- including sending the Problim children to seven different homes on seven different continents!
With a snicker of wonder, a dollop of mystery, and a healthy dose of charm, The Problim Children is an unforgettable tale about adventure, family, and finding the courage to tackle any problem heart-first.
