Vampire Peter

Hannah Peck(Illustrator), Ben Manley

Everyone says Peter is the baddest boy in school. He likes strange food, wears strange clothes and does strange things. In fact, Peter isn’t like anyone the other children have ever met. So when the class gerbil goes missing, Lucy lets Peter take the blame, even though she knows it wasn’t anything to do with him... An insightful story about prejudice, friendship and redemption during one truly unforgettable Halloween.

David Mallett - The School Librarian

"Funny flourishes in both text and art abound"
