Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball
by Laura Ellen Anderson
Amelia is a young vampire who would rather play with her pet pumpkin than attend the Barbaric Ball, where the Prince has taken it and run off.
A story about children and magical creatures, funny and spooky in tone. We would put it with children of 7–10, and at a reading age of about 8 for reading alone.

Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Amelia Fang series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
