Zombierella - exclusive Libraries Week poster

CELEBRATE LIBRARIES WEEK WITH FAIRY TALES GONE BAD!

Crawl out of the grave and step into your mushroom carriage for Zombierella: Fairy Tales Gone Bad, a haunting and humorous adventure of an undead girl searching for her happily ever after. Described by Malorie Blackman as “quirky and original”, this is the first in a funny, deliciously dark, three-part series of twisted classics, written in verse by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho and illustrated by Freya Hartas.

Join in the celebrations for Libraries Week with our special Zombierella poster with an exclusive message from the Librarian of Fairy Tales Gone Bad! Full of laugh out loud humour, rotten rhymes, and a gruesome narrative, this is the perfect book to make you fall in love with poetry and Joseph’s writing all over again. Download the poster here or email [email protected] for a physical copy. Join in on social media @WalkerBooksUK @readingagency #zombierella @ #librariesweek. Follow Joesph on Twitter as @Poetryjoe and on Instagram as @josephcoelhoauthor and Freya on Twitter and Instagram as @FreyaHartas.
