A GORGEOUSLY GOTHIC, WICKEDLY FUNNY NEW SERIES FROM WITCH WARS ILLUSTRATOR LAURA ELLEN ANDERSON 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 when the King’s spoiled son Tangine captures Squashy, Amelia and her friends must escape the party to plan a daring rescue! In their race against time, they begin to realise things in Nocturnia may not be quite what they seem … Join Amelia on her very first adventure. She won't bite! This gloriously ghostly new series from the creator of EVIL EMPEROR PENGUIN is perfect for 7-9 year olds and fans of THE WORST WITCH and WITCH WARS. Amelia Fang is a modern Wednesday Addams – but much more loveable! Look out for Amelia's next adventure, AMELIA FANG AND THE UNICORN LORDS, coming soon! Praise for Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball: 'Brilliantly imagined … laugh-out-loud funny' Sunday Express 'The perfect mixture of funny, foul and fearful' Metro When she's not trying to take over the world or fighting sock-stealing monsters, Laura Ellen Anderson is a professional children's book author & illustrator, with an increasing addiction to coffee. She spends every waking hour creating and drawing, and would quite like to live on the moon when humans finally make it possible. Laura is the creator of EVIL EMPEROR PENGUIN and illustrator of WITCH WARS, as well as many other children’s books. AMELIA FANG is her first series as author-illustrator.

I really like the stories of Amelia Fang and her friends (Squashy, Florence, Grimaldi, etc). I like when she becomes friends with Tangine, and the discoveries they do. These books are fun and entertaining.

This book is about a girl called Amelia Fang.She goes to see the king and hopes to play with the kings son.The kings son called tangine is very spoilt but no one knows the reason behind it. When squashy goes missing Amelia's pet pumpkin Amelia is determined to get him back but it isn't as easy as she thought.Can Amelia get sqaushy back and get to the bottom of why tangine is being so horrible. My favourite character is squashy because he is so cute and funny.

Dona Angora Bucket 31.07.2023
It was very good, but in some parts it was a little bit boring and I found the characters not really interesting. The actual book was okay, but I think it could be slightly funnier.
Captain Blueberry Haystack 30.07.2023
It was a good book, and it had loads of twists and fun bits in the story.
Queen Morgana Pendragon 29.07.2023
I enjoyed this book because it is about vampires and have an interest in vampires. I especially liked the part at the end where there were imaginary monster recipes. I would recommend this book to people who are fond of fantasy because it's a fictional tale.
