Maud and the Very Eventful Week
“Cozy, witty, and brimming with charm—a perfect introduction to chapter books for spooky-loving young readers.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Follow an adorable little vampire named Maud through a week of ever-so-gently-spooky adventures in this charming story.
Who would have known on Monday that the week ahead would be such a busy one? It all starts when Maud finds a teapot that is obviously haunted (and very hungry). EEEK! The days continue with Maud’s attempt to sell spiders (and juice) from a sidewalk stand; a mega-toothy discovery; a ghost family taking over the dollhouse; and a visit to Agnes the witch, who brews up a dynamite soup.
Then comes Maud’s yard sale, which is a lot of work but a great success, rounding out a very full week. But wait, could that be a teapot coming around again, on Sunday? In this slightly gothic tour through the days of the week, the delight is in the details as illustrations portray Maud and her family and friends among the familiar objects and activities of childhood, with just enough of a quirky twist to please the young vampire lovers among us.
Maud and the Very Eventful Week offers a playful and enchanting start to chapter books, particularly for those who are fascinated by the wonderfully peculiar world of vampires and witches.
