Summary

A beautifully illustrated gift book featuring offbeat creatures with a dark history

Welcome to a world populated by outcasts and misfits who struggle to find love and understanding in mainstream society. These ghoulish characters, drawn by Cheryl Tan in a style reminiscent of Tim Burton, have inspired Felix Cheong to write quirky poems poking fun at our hang-ups, from our paper chase to getting high-paying jobs.

Oddballs, Screwballs and Other Eccentrics is an offbeat read that will entertain you with its humor and insights into humanity.
