Weird Stories from the Lonesome Cafe

72 pp. | Harcourt/Browndeer | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-15-202134-5 $$15.00
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Diane Kidd. Sam's uncle buys a cafe in rural Nevada, hoping for some peace and quiet. Instead, the cafe is visited by a series of unusual customers, including Santa Claus, Elvis, and Bigfoot, with a frustrated news crew pursuing each guest into the restaurant. Sam's deadpan narration and the comic illustrations are amusing, but with every chapter following the same format, the one-joke premise wears a little thin.
