    About this ebook

    A little vampire girl who's afraid of ghosts, and monsters, and the dark? Oh yeah.

    Evolved Publishing brings you the first of the "Valentina's Spooky Adventures" picture book series by Majanka Verstraete. Featuring full color illustrations by artist Noelle Giffin, it's perfect for kids 4 to 9 years old.
    ~~~~~
    Valentina isn’t thrilled with her parents’ decision to move into an ancient, gigantic mansion in the middle of nowhere—filled with dark, unsettling rooms, and far away from civilization, where they don’t have to worry about hiding who they are. Sure, it may be perfect for a vampire family like hers, but moving here meant leaving her best friends behind.

    The new house has some perks, though. Valentina gets to choose her own room, and when she explores the mansion on her own, she discovers a trophy room, a museum room, a music room, and much more.

    From the moment Valentina started exploring, however, she’s felt someone watching her. Strange things start to happen all around her: footprints appear in the dust, a disembodied voice sneezes....

    ...and just because Valentina is a vampire, doesn’t mean she doesn't get scared like any other little girl.
    ~~~~~
    "Valentina and the Haunted Mansion" is just the first in this fun and exciting new series for kids. Watch for Book 2, "Valentina and the Whackadoodle Witch," coming December 9, 2013, and for Book 3, "Valentina and the Masked Mummy," coming in the spring of 2014.

    Author

    Majanka Verstraete

    Majanka Verstraete begged her Mom to teach her how to read while she was still in kindergarten. By the time she finished fifth grade, she had read through the entire children’s section of her hometown library. She wrote her first story when she was seven years old, and hasn’t stopped writing since. With an imagination that never sleeps, and hundreds of possible book characters screaming for her attention, writing is more than a passion for her. She writes about all things supernatural for children of all ages. She’s tried to write contemporary novels before, but something paranormal always manages to crawl in. Majanka is currently studying for her Master of Laws degree, and hopes one day to be able to combine her passions for law and writing. When she’s not writing, reading or studying, she likes watching “The Vampire Diaries” and “Game of Thrones,” spending time with her friends, or playing “World of Warcraft.”
