Ed Galton, ceo at Cake and executive producer on Amelia Fang said, “Amelia Fang is full of heart, warmth and big adventure.” The Kingdom of the Light is the setting for Amelia’s second adventure Amelia Fang and the Unicorn Lords, which publishes in March 2018. And I’ve had lots of glittery fun exploring that world and the adventures that await Amelia there. This bonkers character is perfect dress-up – you just need a big orange beard and you’re halfway there! Add a top hat (a crooked one gets extra points) and a long dark coat and Mr Gum will be scaring squirrels left, right and centre this Halloween. Watch our interview with Laura Ellen Anderson, celebrating the release of Amelia Fang and the Memory Thief: About The Amelia Fang Books

Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - 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. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Everyone’s favourite grouchy old man made a surprise appearance last year in the hilarious Natboff!: One Million Years of Stupidity. A spook-tacular reading! Funny reading from Amelia Fang and the Memory Theif by Laura Ellen AndersonOriginally appearing in Dodie Smith’s story The Hundred and One Dalmatians, Cruella has become a classic baddie and is guaranteed to give anyone a chill (especially dog lovers!). In the SIXTH instalment, Amelia Fang’s mum has a baby vampire on the way! But with the Fang household completely focussed on the new arrival, no one is paying Amelia any attention. Amelia Fang will be produced by DCM Pictures (Bibi & Tina) with animation led by Boulder Media in Dublin and directed by Robert Cullen (Gumball, Danger Mouse and My Little Pony). The writing team is led by Elly Brewer (Shaun The Sheep, Postman Pat, Thunderbirds, The Story Of Tracy Beaker ). Cake will handle all international distribution.

Amelia’s family home was another place where I let my imagination run riot. The Fang Mansion has many floors with many doors. But the room behind each door can change when you least expect it. One door may lead you to another floor in the house or even somewhere outside! Amelia has a handy shortcut to the edge of the River Styx, which is where her best friend Grimaldi lives. But not long after arriving, the precious glittery treasures of the ancient yetis start to go missing. And when Tangine goes missing too he becomes the prime suspect! Not only that but the tunnels of Yeti Mountain have started to collapse on themselves and it looks like Florence and her family will have to move far away. It's looking like the gang might never see each other again! March 2018 Book of the Month | In a nutshell: gothic fun and games with gorgeous cast of characters This year’s World Book Day is on 7 March and if you’re feeling stumped for costume ideas, look no further! We’ve put together a few suggestions inspired by some of our favourite Farshore characters. Author and illustrator Laura Ellen Anderson gives us a glimpse into the wonderful world of Amelia Fang, her latest literary creation.Here’s a fab pic of Laura Ellen Anderson, the author and illustrator of the series, dressed-up as Amelia when we filmed her reading from her first book Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Balllast year in a creepy graveyard.Amelia and friends live in the spooky land of Nocturnia, which means that you can take the Halloween costume box down from the attic 6 months’ early! Until she is asked to look after three very mischievous caticorns who make it their business to get Amelia in a world of trouble. The creatures in my world include vampires, yetis, werewolves, ghosts, skeletons, the odd cyclops and many more. Here are some of them enjoying a dance at the Barbaric Ball.

Laura Ellen Anderson, author and illustrator, chats to us about the inspiration behind her spooktacular Amelia Fang series in a rather special setting. But even if Amelia and her friends do find Vincent, will they be able to find their way home? Or will they be trapped in the toad afterlife FOREVER? If you enjoyed Amelia's adventures so far, why not delve into AMELIA'S THIRD ADVENTURE... AMELIA FANG AND THE MEMORY THIEFWe love Amelia Fang and her cute pumpkin Squishy. This series is full of fun, with a deliciously spooky feel. But once children have read all of the books, and Rainbow Grey, also by Laura Ellen Anderson, where do they turn? Here are some suggestions to keep them reading. Anderson has illustrated works for a number of authors, including Cerrie Burnell and Sibéal Pounder. In the mid-2010s she was chosen to illustrate the new covers for the relaunches of Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five series and of Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching series. Anderson’s first fiction series as both author and illustrator was the Amelia Fang series. The series revolves around a young vampire named Amelia and her family and friends, which include a yeti, a pet pumpkin, and a young grim reaper. Books in the series included Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball (2017), Amelia Fang and the Memory Thief (2018), and Amelia Fang and the Lost Yeti Treasures (2019). The award-winning series has been translated into more than 20 languages. She can slip through the green door with the mouldy handle, and voila! She’s at the river! I wish I knew of a few real shortcut-doors in my life… A door that could lead me straight to my favourite coffee shop would be grand.

Get ready to sink your teeth into the fourth book of the spook-tacular series, Amelia Fang and the Half-Moon Holiday. Will Amelia be able to solve the mystery of the missing yeti treasure? And will she and her friends survive the perils of the crumbling Yeti Mountain and all the booby traps on the way? We love the charming and funny illustrations, ghoulish puns and jokes and the wonderfully inventive magical creatures from mischievous caticorns to unicorn lords and terrifying angel-kittens. And the gripping adventures will help keep your attention too! Join Amelia, Florence, Grimaldi, Pumpy and Tangine on the adventure of a lifetime in the fifth book of the series:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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 how can Amelia save them when they have all forgotten who she is? One of the things I’ve loved most about writing Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball has been creating the world that Amelia and her friends live in.

In this adventure, she and her friends Florence the yeti (DON'T CALL HER BEAST), Grimaldi the Death and Prince Tangine (reformed spoiled sprout), along with her pet pumpkin Squashy, must brave the journey to the terrifying Kingdom of the Light to try to find Tangine's missing mother, Queen Fairyweather.
