Wednesday meets Loki in this hilarious adventure series from debut author Louise Austin. Perfect for listeners of 8 to 12.
Come on a fang-tastic adventure! 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 . . .?

I loved Alex Abbott! Brilliant, fast-paced (and very, very funny!)
A fiendishly fun new world of monsters, myth and mayhem. We'll never look at pigeons in the same way again!
Sharp, funny and full of invention, this is a brilliant twist on the vampire story, with a big heart and a reminder that even eternal life can’t get you out of school
This debut is blood-curdlingly funny, full of energy and fangtastic characters
