The Family Fang


This book is hysterical in that weird, slightly awkward way that the show "Curb Your Enthusiasm" owns.
The Fang Family has grown up creating "Art". Their art is what I would call staged chaos - candid camera style. No one else knows what's going on, but the Fang's do. They watch situations that they've engineered fall apart or blow up, taking pride in their work, filming it, then exhibiting it.
Admittedly, it's an odd way for kids to grow up and these two siblings definitely have some issues. They are full of quirky statements and hilarious ideas. However, when their parents come up missing and the authorities suspect foul play, Buster and Annie just know that this is a new Fang project. They have to unravel the truth or else face the facts - their parents might be dead.

Odd ball funny paired with good writing, Kevin Wilson hit a home run with the Fang's.
