Moth the Veggie Vampire

About this book

To look at him, you’d never know Moth was over 200 years old. He still looks like the boy he was when a famous vampire, Stan Solo, bit him.  

 Now Stan, as his name suggests, only has one fang. This means Moth is only a half-vampire: he doesn’t age but he can go out in sunlight. Which is bad news because he ends up having to do all the chores at Aunty Gwen’s 15-star hotel. 

 A steady stream of human guests have their blood gently removed by bed bugs which are then ‘milked’ to provide the vampire residents with their daily dose without the need for biting. 

 But children’s blood is nectar to vampires so when a coachload of schoolchildren arrive, Moth must hatch a hasty plan to save them becoming the main course at his Bite-Day party. 

 Featuring dynamic text and packed with black and white illustrations and doodles on almost every page, this is a great first chapter book for newly confident readers. With madcap action and incredible characters (not all human) the story is both ridiculous and irresistible. 

 Funny, anarchic and spooky (but only a bit), this is, at its core, a story of friendship and resourcefulness.
