Summary

"Full of hilarious, highly illustrated mayhem" Guardian

"Loved it. Full of heart, laughs and adventure." Dermot O'Leary

"Fearfully funny, and a book to get your teeth into! You'll be Kevin's biggest fang!" Danny Wallace

When Kevin and his family get stuck in a strange town, they accidentally wake up something OLD and VERY HUNGRY. It's up to Kevin to save everyone - or else! The first in a brilliantly funny fantasy adventure series.

Kevin Aurelius is just like any other almost eleven-year-old.

Well, apart from his fangs obviously. And that he's immortal. Oh and did I mention he's a vampire?

Together with his vampire parents and annoying older siblings, Kevin's on his way to Monstros City when, due to dodgy batnav, they get stranded in a strange, quiet place full of humans called Lower Drudging. With empty coffers in need of filling, their only choice is to put on an impromptu carnival to earn the gold they need to get back on their way.

But Lower Drudging has a monstrous secret of its own. A secret that is old, very hungry and has just woken up! It's up to Kevin and his new best friend Susie to save the town - or else!

Black and white illustrations throughout by Flavia Sorrentino.

White Poverty The Invisible...

A deacon once approached Reverend William J. Barber II in his church study, asking for help with a young woman’s $50 light bill. Deacons, like this retired Black man in North Carolina, have a long tradition of serving the vulnerable. Barber agreed to help but realized the deacon couldn’t see the deeper issue: the woman worked two jobs and still struggled. This blindness to poverty isn’t a personal failure but a result of societal myths. 
Barber, inspired by biblical prophets, believes in calling attention to the unseen poor. He has met poor people across America who share their stories, asking not for bailouts but for recognition. Nearly 40 million Americans are officially poor, but this number is misleading. The outdated Official Poverty Measure doesn’t account for today’s high cost of living. 
Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, with real wages lower than 50 years ago. Wealth inequality has grown, with the richest 1 percent owning more than the combined wealth of 80 percent of the population. Politicians avoid naming this crisis, and myths about poverty persist. Researchers have found that 140 million Americans are poor or low-income, including 66 million white people. Most of America’s poor are white.

Immersive 3D audio takes you on an exciting journey to nature! 
What Does the Bear Say carries the listener to the forest in the middle of birds chirping, insects buzzing and the wind humming. What kind of sound does an elk make, and what about a squirrel? Everyone will surely recognize the mosquito... And who is roaring over there? 
The fun and activating audiobook for children has an enriched, immersive soundscape where sounds are heard in the same way as in real life or nature. The series entices the child to guess, mimic or just listen quietly.  At the same time, it provides opportunities to learn about nature and the sounds of different animals. Wild and whimsical animal sounds and the exciting whizzes and various rustles of the forest takes the child directly in the middle of the events. 
The audiobook contains binaural audio that mimics how the ears receive sound in real life creating a three-dimensional, spatial audio. The audio book is best listened to with headphones.
