Until she is asked to look after three very mischievous caticorns who make it their business to get Amelia in a world of trouble. I felt sorry for Amelia, she likes sweet stuff but with her tooth she can't do any eating, then again, she will be happy later. Plus she was so excited about the birthnight (I keep spelling birthday), and then that happens. Aww. :( I loved that the author added the whole growing up and that you may have your own dreams to follow instead of those your parents want to follow. In this one we also see that Amelia and her mom have their differences. Amelia wants to become a pumpinologist, while her mom wants her to be the perfect vampire with all the right manners and doing all she is doing at this moment. I am happy with how the author wove this through the story we have, and I just love the ending, awww. Though also I had to laugh, glitter anyone? When Amelia and her friends are invited to Florence's grandmother 350th birthday party, they are very excited! Grand-yeti Clemence lives in the Yeti Pits, a maze of candle-lit tunnels and caves carved into Yeti Mountain.

Amelia lives with her parents Count Drake and Countess Frivoleeta, and her pet pumpkin Squashy, in Nocturnia - a city in the Kingdom of the Dark, where glitter is terrifying and unicorns and sparkly fairies are the stuff of day-mares.

Meanwhile, she and her friends are now attending Catacomb Academy during the day, with other children from the kingdom of the light, and they have a new fairy teacher from Glitteropolis, Mr. Sublime. He's a baker, and he gives his students a new cookie recipe to try out with ingredients Amelia's never worked with before.The things that happened after that all, it reminded me a bit of the ending of Gravity Falls. I won't spoil anything, but that also felt a bit rushed. Then again, in both situations, I guess it just wasn't feasible to make it any longer, so I can forgive it. Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball was Waterstones Book of the Month in October 2017. Amelia Fang would 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. When the King’s spoiled son Tangine captures Squashy, Amelia and her friends must escape the party to plan a daring rescue! But they begin to realise things in Nocturnia may not be quite what they seem. Amelia and Squashy are holed up happily in her bedroom with a copy of Positively Pumpkin and coming up with costumes, when her mother interrupts and disapproves highly of the mess and Amelia's desire to become a pumpkinologist. She's afraid her mother will just never understand her, and it's downright depressing. A spook-tacular reading! Funny reading from Amelia Fang and the Memory Theif by Laura Ellen Anderson
