Synopsis

Raf knows Megan is trouble from the moment she steps into his mom's pet food store asking for a tarantula. But there's one thing you can count on in Chicagoland: weird things happen several times a day.

Megan is a vegetarian, manga-reading haiku writer. She definitely doesn't fit in at Stepford Academy, her new summer school. The other students are happy to be in class. Too happy. And everyone looks and acts exactly alike. That's weird.

Megan is determined to dig into Stepford's secrets, but soon she's in way too deep. Raf may be the only human being she knows who can help. But with zombified students, very mad scientists, and the school psychiatrist on their trail, they're going to need a whole lot more help.

We did say that Chicagoland is weird. . .

At first I had a hard time getting started with this book. The first couple pages didn’t jump out and grab me. Then I the book took a shift and started getting good, until I just couldn’t put it down. My favorite character is the dog followed by RAF. The girl is okay but she annoys me at times.......more

Goodreads review by #ReadAllTheBooks on October 28, 2010

With eco-friendly lifestyles becoming increasingly more visible & popular, it makes good sense for someone to put out a book filled with those themes & similar ones. After all, kids can be into cruelty-free pet shops, animal rescue, & anti-establishment issues too, you know. Chicagoland #1 follows th......more

Goodreads review by Skjam! on September 20, 2016

Megan Yamamura wants a pet. Unfortunately, the young poet’s (she specializes in haiku) father is allergic to all fur-bearing animals, so she’s thinking maybe a tarantula, which is fuzzy but not furry might be the best bet. She’s been looking all over her new city of Chicagoland and having no luck whe......more
