You have read The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, created by the amazing Chris Van Allsburg, have you not? People have been arguing for a long time, perhaps before you were born, about what the pages mean, whose stories these are, what the drawings are trying to tell us. The fun part is that nobody knows for sure ... and Chris isn't answering his phone.

So a bunch of authors got together and decided to tell their own stories inspired by the illustrations in The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. Have I met Harris Burdick? I'm not telling.

The book we created is The Chronicles of Harris Burdick, which you'll be able to buy on October 25th at your favorite bookstore. Read more about the book. Watch a video trailer.

Legions of fans have spoken ...

Mercy Watson and her hilariously funny adventures are a big hit as read-aloud tales. The toast-loving pig strikes a funny bone. Have fun visiting the Mercy Watson website!
