""So funny… I LOVE IT!"" Alex Milway, bestselling author of Hotel Flamingo A laugh-out-loud, brilliantly wacky, highly illustrated children’s debut for readers of 8+ from an award-winning comedy writer – a perfect longer read for fans of Pamela Butchart and Grimwood, illustrated by Jeff Crowther. Maggie McKay is NOT happy that her mum has decided to move to Knobbly Bottom (the most BORING village ever invented). Knobbly Bottom has got NO soft play centres, NO toy shops and NO horse that her mum had (sort of) promised her. There are just fields, church fetes, and a bunch of boring old sheep! But Maggie soon discovers that Knobbly Bottom is also full of SECRETS. The sheep are growing FANGS, their eyes are turning RED, and they’re planning to take over the world… When Mum thinks she’s just making up another silly story, it’s up to Maggie, her little sister Lily and their new friend Fred - with the help of a strange old lady called Nan Helsing and some stinky garlic bread – to save Knobbly Bottom from the ATTACK OF THE VAMPIRE SHEEP! Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2024 Winner of the Fantastic Book Awards 2025, as voted for by the children of Lancashire Genuinely laugh-out-loud jokes and puns on every page to delight kids and grown-ups alike, with an instantly relatable cast of family and friends Hilarious black-and-white artwork and dynamic design throughout, ideal even for readers who lack confidence A fiercely determined girl hero and a cast of brilliant monster-battling characters!

I liked this book a lot because it was funny and a little bit weird also a bit intriguing. As soon as I started reading I didn’t want to stop.

I really enjoyed this book and gave it a 5 out of 5. It was about a girl who has seen these sheep with red eyes and Fred (her next door neighbour) and her little sister, Lily have also seen the sheep with red eyes and fangs. But Maggie's mum doesn't believe her will she be able to save the whole of Knobbly Bottom with just her friend and younger sister? My favourite character was Lily because she always got her own way. I would recommend this book to someone who likes funny books or adventure books and maybe a bit of mystery. In general it is just a really good read so anyone looking for a good book to read should read this book.
