Description

Wednesday meets Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good in this fang-tastically funny new adventure series from debut author Louise Austin. Illustrated throughout by Katie Kear and perfect for readers aged 8 to 12.

I'm Alex Abbott. I was a completely ordinary kid until I accidentally got turned into a vampire. I have cool powers, but they're seriously not worth it, because I have to:

1. Keep the powers secret, even from my best friends (nightmare)
2. Still go to school every day (thanks, Mum and Dad)
3. Never eat chips or ice-cream ever again (the WORST)

Actually, that's not the worst. Trying to find a cure, I blundered into the supernatural world, broke an ancient pact and extinguished 32 tiny fire sprites (my bad). Now I'm on an epic quest to right those wrongs and make a deal with an ancient Sicilian fire demon to get my life back. What could possibly go wrong . . .?

About the Author

Louise Austin is a reformed lawyer from Kent who is the mother of three book-devourers and a devoted servant to her fluffy white cavapoo. A graduate of Oxford University, she is passionate about encouraging a love of reading and works part-time in a primary school, where she haunts the book corner helping kids discover new stories. Her writing was selected for SCBWI Undiscovered Voices 2024 and won the Cornerstones PWA prize for most promising longlisted manuscript in the Bath Children's Novel Awards 2022. Katie Kear is an illustrator currently living in the beautiful Cotswolds with her partner and Pembroke Welsh Corgi who's called Toastie, because if a burnt loaf of bread grew little legs and a whole lot of personality, it'd be him! She graduated from the University of Gloucestershire with a First Class degree in Illustration, and loves drawing, adventures in nature, stationery and finding new inspirational artists!
