'Fans of Isadora Moon, Amelia Fang, Skeleton Keys are going to LOVE
the adventures of this gang of Ghouls' - Lily and the Fae 'An
irresistible and very funny adventure... [that] demands to be read
aloud' - Books for Keeps _______________ When Lexie Wilde is
dropped off at Scout Camp, little does she expect it to be full of
zombies, werewolves and three-headed witches, who all become the
best of friends. But Camp Croak is under threat from the charmingly
foul Euphemia Vile, and they must all come together in order to
succeed ... the first in a new series, GHOUL SCOUTS. Lexie Wilde
was pretty sure she was supposed to be joining the Happy Hollow
Camp for Joyful Boys and Girls for the summer. So why did her Grams
just drop her off under a big ol' sign saying WELCOME TO CAMP
CROAK? And is she really sharing a cabin with a werewolf, a
skeleton, a fancy schmancy zombie and a baseball-hat-wearing ghost?
Yep, looks like she is! After earning some rather unusual Ghoul
Scout badges, Lexie becomes the best of friends with her new pals,
and before long is one of the team. However, danger lurks as the
dastardly Euphemia Vile has plans of her own. And when their
beloved camp counsellors succumb to an odd sleeping sickness, Lexie
and her new friends become suspicious ... can they overcome the
saccharine sweetness of their new Scoutmaster and save Camp Croak?
The first in a laugh-out-loud series for young readers, with
hilarious integrated two-colour illustrations throughout.
Deadknobs And Doomsticks is a collection of twelve illustrated
short horror stories. Ranging from the darkly bizarre to the
horrifically surreal, many of the stories are laced with a theme of
bullying and bullies. Dark undertones and malevolent overtones
interweave with characters and situations that pull the reader to
the edge of their seat. Wit and black humour is prevalent through
the stories, each with a delicious payoff for the reader. Joe
Pasquale shows that where there is laughter there is also a dark
and disturbing voice that is drawn to the horror genre to find its
release. With illustrations by the author, this collection shows a
rich depth of talent as an artist and author. Joe shows he has as
unique a voice in the world of horror writing, as it is in comedy.
