Another top children’s author has read and enjoyed Scream Street 1: Fang of the Vampire. This time it was Joe Craig, author of the action-packed Jimmy Coates series. Here’s what he had to say…
“This is a great concept, brilliantly executed. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series, because this book is genuinely funny, sharp as a vampire’s fang and quick as a bat out of hell.
It surprised me at every turn with clever twists and action that left me breathless.
All of the characters bring wonderful originality to the familiar figures of werewolves, vampires and mummies. The surfer dude zombies are a particularly inspired creation.
It can’t be easy to combine laugh-out-loud funny with shiver-down-your-spine grisly, but this book hits the spot for me, and the 7-9 crowd should devour the whole series. It deserves huge success.”
As you will know if you’ve read this blog for any period of time – I’m a huge Jimmy Coates fan. The next installment is due out next week, and I for one will be getting it on the day of release. I urge you to do the same. You won’t be disappointed…
