Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball by Laura Ellen Anderson
“My 8 year old son loved this and we are now working happily through the ‘box set’ of the series! It is humorous, light and so accessible and fun. Themes of friendship and kindness prevail and a fair few snotty/gruesome/gross elements which make it a jolly read. Unrealistic enough not to be scary, but realistic enough in the believableness of each character and their relationships. A great read aloud with lots of potential for voices and drama!”
