Product Information

Watch our interview with Laura Ellen Anderson, celebrating the release of Amelia Fang and the Memory Thief: About The Amelia Fang Books Originally appearing in Dodie Smith’s story The Hundred and One Dalmatians, Cruella has become a classic baddie and is guaranteed to give anyone a chill (especially dog lovers!). Meet everyone’s favorite vampire! Read her hilarious adventures before she makes her way on the TV screen!

We know that children can get hooked on a favourite book series or author and struggle to find something they love as much, but we're here to help. Another vampire myth I’ve distorted is the idea that they can’t be exposed to sunlight – NOT in my book! In the Kingdom of the Dark the creatures, including vampires, just don’t like the sunlight because they’re usually asleep during the daytime. They’re a bit scared of it; like you or I may be a bit scared of the dark. (Actually, I really AM scared of the dark!)

Get ready to sink your teeth into the fourth book of the spook-tacular series, Amelia Fang and the Half-Moon Holiday. Anderson has illustrated works for a number of authors, including Cerrie Burnell and Sibéal Pounder. In the mid-2010s she was chosen to illustrate the new covers for the relaunches of Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five series and of Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching series. Anderson’s first fiction series as both author and illustrator was the Amelia Fang series. The series revolves around a young vampire named Amelia and her family and friends, which include a yeti, a pet pumpkin, and a young grim reaper. Books in the series included Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball (2017), Amelia Fang and the Memory Thief (2018), and Amelia Fang and the Lost Yeti Treasures (2019). The award-winning series has been translated into more than 20 languages.

This bonkers character is perfect dress-up – you just need a big orange beard and you’re halfway there! Add a top hat (a crooked one gets extra points) and a long dark coat and Mr Gum will be scaring squirrels left, right and centre this Halloween. When Amelia and her friends are invited to Florence's grandmother 350th birthday party, they are very excited! Grand-yeti Clemence lives in the Yeti Pits, a maze of candle-lit tunnels and caves carved into Yeti Mountain. This year’s World Book Day is on 7 March and if you’re feeling stumped for costume ideas, look no further! We’ve put together a few suggestions inspired by some of our favourite Farshore characters.A spook-tacular reading! Funny reading from Amelia Fang and the Memory Theif by Laura Ellen Anderson

When Cadpig gets lost playing hide-and-seek, she stumbles into the path of the evil Cruella de Vil. But can her new furry friends help her escape? In world-building for Amelia Fang, I was able to create a realm inhabited by many strange and spectacular creatures (including cute pumpkin pets), but also a place with LOTS of disgusting food! Inventing repugnant recipes that made even me grimace was fun. Here, have some Toe Jam! Eurrgh! Buy from our bookstore and 25% of the cover price will be given to a school of your choice to buy more books. *15% of eBooks. Home >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. Book three in the Amelia Fang series! Read her adventures before she makes her way on the TV screen! 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! Amelia is sure to be the star of the show for this year’s celebrations, but there’s also a whole colourful cast of other characters from the series who would also make for fantastic dress-up.

Amelia’s family home was another place where I let my imagination run riot. The Fang Mansion has many floors with many doors. But the room behind each door can change when you least expect it. One door may lead you to another floor in the house or even somewhere outside! Amelia has a handy shortcut to the edge of the River Styx, which is where her best friend Grimaldi lives. But whilst exploring, Amelia and the gang stumble upon an ancient curse – and are shrunk to the size of bugs! How will they make the bloodcurdlingly BIG journey to break the curse when they are all so very TINY? Everyone’s favourite grouchy old man made a surprise appearance last year in the hilarious Natboff!: One Million Years of Stupidity. But with unicorns, fairies and angel-kittens lurking around every corner, who can they trust? And will they finally uncover the real villain keeping the kingdoms of Light and Dark as mortal enemies?
