What to expect
‘The perfect mix of funny, foul and fearful’ Metro
‘Brilliantly imagined … laugh-out-loud funny’ Sunday Express
The first book in the bestselling, gorgeously gothic and wickedly funny Amelia Fang series – perfect for readers of 7+
Meet Amelia Fang! Everyone’s favourite little vampire.
Welcome to the world of Nocturnia, where darkness reigns supreme, glitter is terrifying, and unicorns are the stuff of nightmares! Amelia Fang would much rather hang out with her pet pumpkin Squashy and her friends Florence the yeti (DON'T CALL HER BEAST!) and Grimaldi the reaper than dance at her parents' annual Barbaric Ball.
And when the King’s spoiled son Tangine captures Squashy, Amelia and her friends must escape the party to plan a daring rescue! In their race against time, they begin to realise things in Nocturnia may not be quite what they seem …
Join Amelia on her very first adventure. She won't bite!
This gloriously ghostly series from the creator of EVIL EMPEROR PENGUIN is perfect for 7-9 year olds and fans of THE WORST WITCH and WITCH WARS. Amelia Fang is a modern Wednesday Addams – but much more loveable!
