Kevin the Vampire: A Most Mysterious Monster

Kevin Aurealis is like nearly every other eleven-year-old, apart from just a few differences… such as his fangs, the fact he is immortal and oh yes, he’s a vampire!

We first meet Kevin as he and his family are travelling to Monstros City, along with the rest of the travelling circus of scary beasts on their way to the Festival of Fear. However, when their batnav takes them the wrong way, the group find themselves stranded in the strangely quiet and human-filled village of Lower Drudging, where the townsfolk are keeping quite a big secret of their own. Despite their initial fear and horror on meeting the newcomers, when this monstrous secret wakes up and starts to cause chaos within the town, the townsfolk need Kevin and his new human best friend Susie to work together to save the day, with hilarious consequences.

With fantastical spooky illustrations and pop-up monster fact files scattered through the book, this is a laugh-out-loud, fun-packed ride of a story, peppered with crazy characters and wonderful word play. Kevin and his bonkers family prove to the townsfolk that not everything is always as it seems and send a wonderful message about not judging others and celebrating differences in life.

This is the first in a new series of adventures for Kevin the vampire and after a sneaky preview at the end of the book, we look forward to reading the next hilarious instalment very soon.
