Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball (The Amelia Fang Series)
Laura Ellen Anderson
A GORGEOUSLY GOTHIC, WICKEDLY FUNNY NEW SERIES FROM WITCH WARS ILLUSTRATOR LAURA ELLEN ANDERSON Welcome to the world of Nocturnia, where darkness reigns supreme, glitter is terrifying, and unicorns are the stuff of nightmares! 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. And when the King’s spoiled son Tangine captures Squashy, Amelia and her friends must escape the party to plan a daring rescue! In their race against time, they begin to realise things in Nocturnia may not be quite what they seem … Join Amelia on her very first adventure. She won't bite! 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! Look out for Amelia's next adventure, AMELIA FANG AND THE UNICORN LORDS, coming soon! Praise for Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball: 'Brilliantly imagined … laugh-out-loud funny' Sunday Express 'The perfect mixture of funny, foul and fearful' Metro When she's not trying to take over the world or fighting sock-stealing monsters, Laura Ellen Anderson is a professional children's book author & illustrator, with an increasing addiction to coffee. She spends every waking hour creating and drawing, and would quite like to live on the moon when humans finally make it possible. Laura is the creator of EVIL EMPEROR PENGUIN and illustrator of WITCH WARS, as well as many other children’s books. AMELIA FANG is her first series as author-illustrator.
Reviews
I really like the stories of Amelia Fang and her friends (Squashy, Florence, Grimaldi, etc). I like when she becomes friends with Tangine, and the discoveries they do. These books are fun and entertaining.

It was very good and funny. It was good to see the Prince become a good person after being horrible.

This book is about a girl called Amelia Fang.She goes to see the king and hopes to play with the kings son.The kings son called tangine is very spoilt but no one knows the reason behind it. When squashy goes missing Amelia's pet pumpkin Amelia is determined to get him back but it isn't as easy as she thought.Can Amelia get sqaushy back and get to the bottom of why tangine is being so horrible. My favourite character is squashy because he is so cute and funny.

I liked how squashy jumped into Amelia’s arms and I liked how Amelia never judged Tangine.

I liked Barbaric ball the best, and a boy tried to steel the ball but Amelia tried to get it back using a sticky glue.

The person I liked best was amelia because she was brave to save her pumpkin from the prince. My thoughts about it were where did she get squashy,why is this book so good,why is prince tanging so mean and lastly why is Amelia and her family vampires.

I found this a little hard to get in to. Although i enjoyed it i just found the pace a bit slow.
