A hilarious illustrated middle grade POB series for reluctant readers starring a vampire girl, Amelia Fang. Ovo bi bila apsolutno savršena knjiga za moju savršeno uvrnutu ćerku, ali mene lično jako muči kada su roditelji u pričama za decu ovoliko isključeni, odsutni (i to više psihički nego fizički), pa čak i aktivno negativna sila u životu svoje dece.
