Description
Jonny Smith's paper round takes him along Weir Street. The paper boys don't normally stick around for long and he soon understands why ... It's definitely weirder than your average street. And this time Jonny has to deliver a paper to Doctor Sphinx. Will he be brave enough to find out what is lurking in the deep jungly garden? The Weird Street mini-series follows Jonny on his bizzare, scary and extremely unusual paper round, where he bumps into a whole range of oddballs and mysterious neighbours.
