About this Event

Join us in the run-up to Halloween for an interactive talk with Alex Foulkes, as she introduces us to her Ministry of Mischief series!

In this special event, Alex shows us around Impworld and introduces us to it's many monstrous inhabitants. Expect silly songs, misbehaving monsters and maybe a couple of interruptions from the Imp King himself!

Suitable for children 7+ and their families, monster outfits encouraged. All 'Child Ticket with Book Bundle' purchases include 1 copy of both Ministry of Mischief Volume 1 & 2, to be collected at the event. Please note that accompanying adults need not purchase a ticket.

About the author

ALEX FOULKES (pronounced FOW-ks, a bit like something has just bitten you) is from Stoke-on-Trent, and lives with her boyfriend and their dog, Mac, who is just small enough to sit on the back of a broomstick - very convenient! She has worked as both a teaching assistant and a school librarian. When she's not reading and reading and reading, she's writing her very own stories with chills, thrills, and maybe even a talking spider! The first book in her devilishly dark debut series, Rules for Vampires, was published in 2021, and Ministry of Mischief first leapt into bookshops and libraries in 2024.
