This is another of the Monstrous Maud books. It starts with a recap of the situation so having not read any of the preceding books in the series will be fine. Only after this does the story begin – a romp about Maud and her twin sister Milly having a sleepover with their schoolmates over the same night. Only thing is Maud’s school is exclusively for monsters (well, apart from her of course). Add into the mix the fact that Maud is looking after her school janitor’s pet, a hamster – or a vampster as she is soon to find out once it starts to cause havoc before escaping leading Maud and her friends on a frantic rescue mission that takes up most of the book - and you get a freaky sleepover indeed.
I read this book to my nearly-6-year-old and she listened intently. She liked it, particularly the way the innocent looking hamster changed into a vampster with its eyes changing colour and its wings popping out.
Overall a fast-paced and enjoyable book.
(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed here.)
