Step into a land where being bad is one BIG adventure. The second title in a series filled with naughty magical creatures and unexpected friendships from Alex Foulkes, the bestselling author of Rules for Vampires, illustrated by Nikolas Ilic. Perfect for Halloween!

Praise for Rules for Vampires by Alex Foulkes:

'Fans of fast-paced, well-written gothic romps will devour Rules for Vampires' Phil Earle, bestselling author of When the Sky Falls

‘Deliciously dark, fangtastically feisty and gloriously gothic!' Laura Ellen Anderson, author of Amelia Fang

‘Brilliant! It’s a deadly funny, twisty, gothic romp with the loveliest vampire. Sara Ogilvie’s illustrations are the perfect match’ Jenny McLachlan, bestselling author of Land of Roar

'Wonderfully atmospheric, humorous and touching’ Radiya Hafiza, author of Rumaysa

About the Author

Alex Foulkes

Alex Foulkes is from Stoke-on-Trent in the Midlands of England, and lives with her boyfriend and their dog, Mac, who is just
small enough to sit on the back of a broomstick (very convenient!). She has worked as a teaching assistant and a school
librarian. When she's not reading and reading and reading, she's writing her very own stories with chills, thrills, and maybe even
a talking spider! Her debut Middle Grade Rules for Vampires will be released this September.
