Children will love the illustrations in this book right through from the title page to the contents, to the detailed map of Columbus Close and the comic drawings of the characters in the book. Mona the Vampire is alerted to something that moves things about and makes people screech by her friend Charley-Knees, alias Zapman. When Zapman’s enterprising brother sets up a stall at the School
fair selling screechy, scary things and a tinned poltergeist, “completely
real and freshly trapped,” Mona is beside herself with rage. |
