Product Information

As a debut children’s author, was there anything you learned that surprised you about writing and publishing for children? Tyler can’t wait for the summer holidays to start, until she discovers she's been enrolled by her dad at Happyville Summer Camp. Gary the Great and Evil child eater would be Paul Whitehouse and the mum, Lucy would be Ellie Taylor. When I was about nine years old my parent FORCED me to move from an estate in town to the countryside because they said it was a safer place to bring up children. It’s up to Maggie, her little sister Lily, and their new friend Fred to save Knobbly Bottom from the Attack of the Vampire Sheep!

But Maggie soon discovers that Knobbly Bottom is also full of secrets… The sheep are growing fangs, their eyes are turning red, and they’re planning to take over the world!There are also lots more weird and wonderful people living in the village that readers will get to meet! With a fast-paced plot, off-the-wall humour and dynamic black-and-white illustrations, this hilarious chapter book, is the first in a fabulously funny series that is perfect for junior readers. But just like my main character, Maggie says, I thought ‘I don’t have any children so I don’t care about that’.

The Beasts of Knobbly Bottom Attack of the Vampire Sheep is written by Emily-Jane Clark and illustrated by Jeff Crowther It is published by Scholastic. When given the chance to read the book and send some questions to the author, we jumped at the chance. Hilarious black and white artwork from Jeff Crowther makes this an ideal book even for reluctant readers. This new series by Emily-Jane Clark is sure to delight readers and have them giggling through the adventure.I am not sure about Maggie – that is a tough one BUT if I could go back in time and get Karen from Outnumbered to do it – she would be perfect! Nine-year-old Maggie is adamant that she’s not moving from the bustling city of Leicester to Knobbly Bottom, a tiny village in the middle of nowhere, but Mum won’t listen to reason. Unfortunately, in book two, poor old Knobbly Bottom has a zombie pig problem… and they are very, very hungry!
