Wednesday meets Loki in this hilarious adventure series from debut author Louise Austin. Illustrated throughout by Katie Kear and perfect for readers of 8 to 12.

Come on a fang-tastic adventure! I'm Alex Abbott. I was a completely ordinary kid until I accidentally got turned into a vampire. I have cool powers, but they're seriously not worth it, because I have to:

1. Keep the powers secret, even from my best friends (nightmare)
2. Still go to school every day (thanks, Mum and Dad)
3. Never eat chips or ice-cream ever again (the WORST)

Actually, that's not the worst. Trying to find a cure, I blundered into the supernatural world, broke an ancient pact and extinguished 32 tiny fire sprites (my bad). Now I'm on an epic quest to right those wrongs and make a deal with an ancient Sicilian fire demon to get my life back. What could possibly go wrong . . .?
About the Author: Louise Austin is a reformed lawyer from Kent who is the mother of three book-devourers and a devoted servant to her fluffy white cavapoo. A graduate of Oxford University, she is passionate about encouraging a love of reading and works part-time in a primary school, where she haunts the book corner helping kids discover new stories. Her writing was selected for SCBWI Undiscovered Voices 2024 and won the Cornerstones PWA prize for most promising longlisted manuscript in the Bath Children's Novel Awards 2022. Alex Abbott is [Un]dead is her debut.

Katie Kear is an illustrator currently living in the beautiful Cotswolds with her partner and Pembroke Welsh Corgi who's called Toastie, because if a burnt loaf of bread grew little legs and a whole lot of personality, it'd be him! She graduated from the University of Gloucestershire with a First Class degree in Illustration, and loves drawing, adventures in nature, stationery and finding new inspirational artists!

Reviews

A fiendishly fun new world of monsters, myth and mayhem. We'll never look at pigeons in the same way again! -- Jon Lock and Nich Angell, bestselling creators of Tiny Hercules
Sink your teeth into this hilarious tale of fangs, friendship and fantastically awkward undead moments. Monstrously good fun! -- Caryl Lewis
My top pick for for readers aged nine to 12 is the funny, supernatural deubt from Louise Austin. Alex Abbott is [Un]Dead has all the humour and drama you would expect from an accessible book for this age group, with an added twist -- Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller *
Whip-smart and hilarious - I devoured this diary of a reluctant vampire! Loki fans, be ready! -- Nicola Penfold, author of Where the World Turns Wild
Genuinely funny middle-grade! -- Sue Wallman
Snarky humour and delicious moodiness seep through every page - perfect for this goth-tinged adventure. Louise Austin balances laugh-out-loud comedy with real pathos, and Katie Kear's witty illustrations bring even more of the [un]dead to life. A screamingly good read - once it sinks its fangs into you, you won't be able to put it down. -- Iqbal Hussain, bestselling author of The Night I Borrowed Time
