Scream Street is a great new horror/comedy series from up and coming author and showman, Tommy Donbavand. The first in this series is called Fang of the Vampire and deals with the arrival in Scream Street of the Watson Family. 10 year old Luke was normal until his tenth birhtday when he twice changes into a werewolf. Luke and Mrs and Mr Watson are moved by GHOUL (Government Housing of Unusual Life-Forms) to Scream Street. Its your normal community filled with vampires, werewolfs, zombies and monsters! Lukes parents hate it and Luke wants them to move back to normality but has to find six relics left behind ny the founding fathers in order to do this.
These books are literally a scream from start to finish. The humour is great, aimed smack at it target audience of 10-13 year olds. Tommy’s way with words make these books brilliant reading. The scene where Luke first encounters a zombie is real class.
I haven’t read any of the others yet (they’re always out of the library), but would recommend these books for kids of all ages. The writing flows and before you know you’re at the end. A great new addition to this genre. If you like these books check out Tommy’s website
