I have a question. 

What’s the worst thing that could happen? 

Wait.

Before you decide . . . let me tell you a story. 

This wildly inventive collection of darkly supernatural tales is full of spine-tingling fun. Venture to the World Behind the World to meet the nightmare pig with just teeth on her mind or the ravenous monster in the shed. Witness the reality of swapping places with your reflection and encountering a truth-twisting sibling. But be warned: your world may never be the same again.

The Worst Thing That Could Possibly Happen is perfect for tweens whether newly proficient or voracious readers. Sublime art matches the tone and form of several stories ranging from highly illustrated, graphic works to stylish verse. Clever interstitial in-world advertisements intensify the immersive reading experience, from award-winning author Guy Bass and renowned illustrator David Roberts.
