Welcome to Peculiar

In Peculiar, Pennsylvania, supernatural sixth-grade twins Bella and Donna, students at Y.I.K.E.S.S.S., navigate middle school life, interact with humans, and cause chaos as they learn to control their powerful magic.

Twin witches-in-training get into mischief in the first four books in the charming Witches of Peculiar middle grade series that’s Wizards of Waverly Place meets Halloweentown—now together in one bewitching paperback bind-up!

There are monsters among us…and they’re just trying to survive middle school! In Peculiar, Pennsylvania, the supernatural kids attend Y.I.K.E.S.S.S. (Yvette I. Koffin’s Exceptional School for Supernatural Students), run by Yvette herself. From goblins to ghosts to werewolves and witches, the students learn the ins and outs of doling out the scares and blending in with the humans they live among.

Mostly, the system works, but there’s occasionally a young monster who shakes things up—a pubescent werewolf who displays some suspicious body hair on the community basketball court or a scatterbrained ghost who goes through a door instead of opening it. But Peculiar has never seen a potential PR disaster quite like the Maleficent twins!

While Bella and Donna’s magic is powerful, they don’t quite have a handle on their (witch)craft yet. Sixth grade puts them to the test as they attend a dance at the human school, play matchmaker for their principal, meet a clairvoyant, and more!

This magical paperback bind-up includes:
Double, Double, Twins and Trouble
Thriller Night
Monstrous Matchmakers
Glimpse the Future
