Scream Street 5: Skull of the Skeleton features a visit by The Headless Horseman but, when the head-loose hero’s skull is stolen and used to complete a home-made demon, it looks as though Luke, Resus and Cleo will have their hands full finding the fifth relic.

In Scream Street 6: Claw of the Werewolf, Luke discovers that the final founding father is still living in Scream Street.  He must find that person, make them angry enough to transform into their werewolf and then – somehow – get one of the furious creature’s claws!

Will Luke, Resus and Cleo succeed in their quest to open a doorway back to the real world?  You only have to wait until August 10th to find out!

My author copies of the Chinese version of Scream Street popped through my letterbox this morning, and I’m absolutely delighted with them!  They look and feel fantastic and – in a completely unexpected move – the publisher has split book 7, Invasion of the Normals, into two volumes!

My plan to eventually dominate the world continues…

We started with a visit to Linaker Primary School in Southport where I created some creepy chaos with my Vampires vs Werewolves Game Show before signing books for an hour.

Then it was a dash back to Formby to meet up with Astrosaurs and Cows in Action author, Steve Cole for his event…

…followed by an open-air signing back at the shop…

…where we were joined by my pal and future Scream Street character, Spider, and his utterly brilliant skateboard…

and Mortlock author, Jon Mayhew.

What a day – and I’m back at Pritchard’s again next Thursday!

This visit was to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of my UK publisher, Walker Books – and I bumped into another familiar face from the company there… the Walker Bear…

The ads are the work of my brilliant US publishers, Candlewick Press, and they link directly to the US Scream Street site – www.screamstreet.com

So, watch out for Doug the zombie (that’s his ugly mug on the banners) and you could click through for some fiendish fun, courtesy of Scream Street!

And I’m not running any events!  Boo!

I was supposed to be at Coleshill Heath School yesterday, Alcott Hall School today and Starbank Primary School tomorrow – but I’ve had to postpone all three visits because I’ve got a throat infection.  Yes, yours truly is completely mute.  I can’t even whisper.  And my throat hurts.  A lot.

Thanks for the sympathy.

Still, I’ve got a couple of (silent) treats up my sleeve for today – the first being a pdf file of spooktacular Scream Street activities that you can download from the World Book Day website here: http://www.worldbookday.com/assets_cm/files/pdf/10webA1P_Vampire_Activity_Sheets.pdf

You should also find some fun Scream Street information in your school’s World Book Day pack.

Have a great day!

To demonstrate the process Lily takes, here are three images of one of my newer Scream Street characters – Kian Negative.  You can see how each image progresses from a preliminary sketch to get a feel for the character (which my editor, designer and I get to see and comment on) through an intermediate stage and finally onto the finished picture.

I’m sure you’ll agree that Lily is not only very talented, but she has a real grasp on the feel of the Scream Street series.  I’m very proud to be working with her.
