A brand new title in the bestselling gorgeously gothic and wickedly
funny Amelia Fang series – perfect for readers of 7+
MEET AMELIA FANG
A little vampire with a big heart.
Amelia Fang’s mum has a baby vampire on the way! But with the Fang
household completely focussed on the new arrival, no one is paying
Amelia any attention.
Until she is asked to look after three very mischievous caticorns who
make it their business to get Amelia in a world of trouble.
Now EVERYONE is watching. And not in a good way!
Growing up in Slater, Isadora Chang never felt at ease in the repressive small town, even before she realized she was bisexual—but after the deaths of two childhood friends, Slater went from feeling claustrophobic to suffocating. So, Isa took off before the town could swallow her, too. Even though it meant leaving everything she knew behind, including her last surviving friend, Mason.
When Isa’s abusive father dies, however, she agrees to come back from art school just long enough to collect the inheritance. But then Mason turns up at the cemetery with a revelation and a plea: their friends were murdered by an evil that haunts the town, and he needs Isa to help stop it—before it takes anyone else.
When Isa begins to hear strange songs on the wind, and eerie artwork fills her sketchbook that she can’t recall drawing, she’s forced to stop running and confront her past. Because something is waiting in the shadows of Slater’s valleys, something that feeds on the pain and heartbreak of its children. Whatever it is, it knows Isa’s back . . . and it won’t let her escape again.
Wen-yi Lee’s young adult debut is an intimate and gripping exploration of trauma, healing, and the lasting power of friendship, as a runaway teen must finally face the sinister forces that defined her childhood, and in doing so, demand her right to survive.

Dear possible reader of this book,
My editor asked me to write a third book in my series, "Tales from

(not to mention cute) orphan wirehaired dachshund puppy named
Howie, who has a mysterious pain in his leg and is mysteriously
invited to attend the Dogwiz Academy for Canine Conjurers.

Delilah, who speaks in a British accent in this book for some
reason, discover they must fight a sinister
foe...The-Evil-Force-Whose-Nam-C'not-Be-Spoke
Your friend,
Howie
