And then it Happened

Example.jpg

And Then It Happened is a Canadian children's book series by Michael Wade and Laura Wade. The first book was released in 2003. The series has 11 books.

Plot

The book series is written as a first-person narrative, and follows the adventures of the unnamed narrator and his two best friends, Gordon and Paulo. The boys are constantly getting into trouble at school, home, and in their neighbourhood. The books are divided into chapters, with most referencing the chapter before, but most chapters can be read as self-contained stories. Every chapter contains the line "and then it happened," which usually introduces a conflict that the boys have created and must work past.
