'Tamara Small and the Monsters' Ball' is a reassuring read for anyone who defies my predictions and is actually terrified of the vampires, ghosts and ghoulies that will be thronging in our streets this evening. Tamara, our heroine, receives a hairy monstrous visitor who scoops her and her gallant Ted from her bed in the dead of night. Luckily, his intention this time is not to eat her but simply to take her to the Halloween party to end all parties; the Monsters' Ball where everything that normally just goes bump in the night congregates to bump 'n grind this night away.
Tamara's dancing proves such a monster hit that she even receives a special sweet surprise to reward her before she is returned home (more of which to follow...)
Going up stairs at night time; you never know what might be just behind you! I recommend running as fast as you can...
Excellent advice. I may try it on Eddie who is always strangely slow on that final stair trip up to bed.
How are your new Monster Chums? Is it true that Werewolf is being hired for the next series of 'Strictly'? Can you give us a hint as to who his partner might be?
They are okay actually; although one of the vampires woke up too early the other day and got sunburnt. Yes, Wolfie will be on 'Strictly' and will be partnering Mandy Dingle! (shh don't tell anyone else though)
I think we all look forward to seeing Mandy and Wolfie's body popping reinvented rhumba.
Do you hang out with The Fearsome Beastie at all? How do you avoid being eaten?
We have met but with all the attention he's been getting he's a bit arrogant now. I think he's sold out big time!
I'm sorry to hear that. I'd heard rumours he'd been in talks with Mr. Gove about a new role in schools being put on Special Measures...
Any Special Measures yourself for Halloween this year? What will you and Ted be up to?
We'll mostly be consuming mountains of slime cake!
Ah yes. The infamous Slime Cake. I have to say I feel a bit uncertain about the yumminess of that. Do you really rate it?
It's awesome, although it's made from bogies, baby possets and alligator drool it really is one of the most scrummy things around! It's a Mary Berry recipe you know?
Mary Berry! ah well in that case... I can quite see the appeal for my children now I know that bogies are one of the main ingredients. They are Fine Connoisseurs of Interior Nose Contents.
Thank you Tamara and have a slice of this one before you go.
With thanks to the author for providing our copy and allowing interview time with his heroine on a very busy day for her.
