About this deal

But just like my main character, Maggie says, I thought ‘I don’t have any children so I don’t care about that’. But Maggie soon discovers that Knobbly Bottom is also full of secrets… The sheep are growing fangs, their eyes are turning red, and they’re planning to take over the world!

Year later, when I moved to the countryside with my own children it brought all these memories back! As a debut children’s author, was there anything you learned that surprised you about writing and publishing for children?When Pippin discovers she possesses magical powers, she uses her newfound skills to investigate the mysterious water shortage in Funsprings. This new series by Emily-Jane Clark is sure to delight readers and have them giggling through the adventure. I originally had way too many characters, but in the end I only kept the ones who added something to the story. Nine-year-old Maggie is adamant that she’s not moving from the bustling city of Leicester to Knobbly Bottom, a tiny village in the middle of nowhere, but Mum won’t listen to reason. Reading books to children has lots of amazing benefits - even when they're learning to read (or can read) themselves.

The Beasts of Knobbly Bottom Attack of the Vampire Sheep is written by Emily-Jane Clark and illustrated by Jeff Crowther It is published by Scholastic. Maggie McKay is NOT happy that her mum has decided they’re moving to Knobbly Bottom (the most boring village ever invented). Maggie is outraged, especially as Mum has blatantly lied about the virtues of the countryside: the air is not cleaner, it stinks of poo; it is definitely not peaceful, with cows, birds and combine harvesters making a hullaballoo day and night; and it is absolutely not safer than the city, as Maggie quickly discovers when she encounters a flock of talking vampire sheep, with sharp yellow fangs and glowing red eyes, who are determined to take over the world.Hilarious black and white artwork from Jeff Crowther makes this an ideal book even for reluctant readers. Featuring a fiercely determined girl hero and a cast of brilliant monster-battling characters who will delight kids and grown-ups alike this is a perfect read for fans of Pamela Butchart and Grimwood. When I was about nine years old my parent FORCED me to move from an estate in town to the countryside because they said it was a safer place to bring up children. There are also lots more weird and wonderful people living in the village that readers will get to meet!
