<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>101 Weird Words (and 3 Fakes)</i> is a mini-dictionary jam-packed with unusual or interesting words, followed by a fun and descriptive definition for each one. Filled with silly pictures and strange wordy facts, this is a book to sweep the reader through the alphabet from AMBIDEXTROUS (no repeated letters) to ZUGZWANG (not a place you want to visit), with a generous sprinkling of riddles, puzzles, and bonus facts. For an extra challenge, try to spot the three fakes in the collection. Is it YARG--the cheese that turned its maker backwards? Or maybe JUFFLE--the semi-jig, semi-shuffle you do on a zebra crossing? Only a true word detective will crack the case!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David Astle </b>is a full-time word nerd. He is a crossword-setter for the <i>Sydney Morning Herald</i> and <i>Age</i>. He is the author of <i>Wordburger</i>, <i>Riddledom, </i>and <i>Puzzles and Words</i>.
