Meet Mo Merrydrew, Reluctant Vampire Queen of Great Britain .... Mo Merrydrew is getting used to being Vampire Queen - ruthless, fearless, good at ripping heads off.

Doing her best to keep this whole Vampire Queen thing secret is becoming more difficult by the minute ...

When Frank's hiccups just won't STOP, they get him into all kinds of trouble in this hilarious caper from comedy genius and bestselling author Jo Simmons.

Bob Bunyon is fed up. In a family of artists and performers, he's the one with no obvious talent - and his four siblings won't let him forget it. Sick of being taunted for being so "normal", Bob wishes that his family would just disappear, but he doesn't expect his wish to come true ...   When he wakes the next day in an empty house in a deserted town, Bob's initial delight quickly turns to worry. Does he have supernatural powers? Is he the only survivor of a zombie apocalypse? And where has his family gone?!

Meet Mo Merrydrew - independent young woman, Mini Battenburg fan, president of the history club - and reluctant vampire queen .... Fifteen-year-old Mo Merrydrew isn't exactly expecting to be asked to be Vampire Queen of Great Britain when she's cycling home from school one wet Tuesday evening. Apparently, she is 'the Chosen One'. Aside from being uncomfortable with the idea of unelected power (not very democratic), there's the blood drinking to consider (Mo is a vegetarian), and frankly it's just not really the sort of role Mo's looking for (she wants to aim for a real job in politics). But - if you're Vampire Queen, you probably don't have to do PE any more, and when the dreamy Luca, a vampire familiar, turns up, it all suddenly starts to look a bit more appealing ...Geek Girl meets Buffy in a brilliantly funny new teen series from bestselling author Jo Simmons
