Sound on!๐ As it's sundown, the vampires can come out! Delighted to reveal the animated cover for the first in this darkly funny MG series for fans of Skulduggery Pleasant & Lemony Snicket.
Love thisโฆ
โBig Bad Wolf Investigates Fairy Talesโ by Catherine Cawthorne and #SaraOgilvie is delicious fun. Itโs quirky and playful , packed with great science and fab brief retells. Itโs full of energy and humour. The kids have loved the debunking of known stories #PicturebookPage
Emerging from my vampiric coffin to wish this wonderful book a happy publication day - Alex Foulkes ๐ you are a total superstar and working on this book with you and #saraogilvie has been a fangtastic experience.
