One little pug. One velvet cape. One Halloween that changes everything.
Meet Phil...
Last Halloween, he wasn't the scary vampire he dreamed of becoming.
He was a rather round, rather squeaky pumpkin.
This year is different.
Armed with a swishy velvet cape, a little more confidence and a heart full of hope, Phil sets off for the Halloween parade... only to discover that someone else is feeling just as nervous as he is.
Together they learn one of life's most important lessons:
Bravery doesn't always roar. Sometimes it simply shows up anyway.
Filled with gentle humour, autumn magic and heartwarming friendships, Phil and the Rise of the Vampire Pug: A Brave Halloween Tale is a comforting story about overcoming worries, embracing who you are and discovering that courage often begins with one small step.
Perfect for cosy autumn evenings, bedtime cuddles and Halloween traditions, this beautifully illustrated adventure reminds every child that it's perfectly okay to feel scared... because even the bravest heroes sometimes wobble.
