Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball (The Amelia Fang Series)

Product Information

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. Instead they are going to spend it with their Rainbow Rangers troop, (lead by unicorns Ricky and Graham) earning badges on Sugar Plum Island. There’s a wonderfully eccentric Addams-family-esque cast of characters in Laura Ellen Anderson’s gorgeous new series, the special friendship between them giving these little stories real oomph.

Learn what to look out for, what funny things you can include, and how to name your very own unicorn to make them stand out from the crowd. One reason the Amelia Fang series is so popular is the number of amazing illustrations by Laura Ella Anderson. Amelia Fang has a brilliant gang to join in her adventures – a yeti, a pumpkin and a reaper friend, no less! Then the King’s spoiled son Tangine captures Squashy, Amelia and her friends must escape the party to plan a daring rescue!Laura is the creator of EVIL EMPEROR PENGUIN and illustrator of WITCH WARS, as well as many other children’s books. It was hard to get my head around the fact I was walking through corridors lined with the bones of people who were ONCE ALIVE (shudder).

Amelia is sure to be the star of the show for this year’s celebrations, but there’s also a whole colourful cast of other characters from the series who would also make for fantastic dress-up. And The Train of Dark Wonders by Alex Bell introduces the Land of Halloween Sweets, where Bess has to find the rare ghostly gobstopper. However, when writing about Amelia Fang and her family, I didn’t want to stick to the traditional vampire myths.To access your ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose. No one can seem to remember anything – including their own names or even Amelia’s big birthnight party!

This year’s World Book Day is on 7 March and if you’re feeling stumped for costume ideas, look no further!

She is also the creative tour de force behind the Evil Emperor Penguin comic series, and the Amelia Fang series, as well as the illustrator of Bloomsbury’s very own Witch Wars fiction series, which has sold over 80,000 copies to date.
