When Evangeline gets into trouble at school again, her father decides on a different form of discipline: he brings home a Christmas elf; however, this is no ordinary Elf on the Shelf, this is a Watching Elf and it's about to change Evangeline's life forever. The question is, can she rid herself of the elf before it's too late?
You'd Better Watch Out is the first in a new YA series called The Blood Texts and it's certainly not for the faint hearted: the Watching Elf is quite possibly the most evil creature I've encountered in fiction and unless those it's watching are good, it will punish them (or their family) in rather gruesome ways. The question is: what is good? This is an elf that will punish anything that it perceives to be remotely unkind. As Eveline tries to unpick the mess she has got herself in to, the elf is watching every move.
Publishing on the 31st October, You'd Better Watch Out, is a fast-paced, quick read (at 142 pages, it will appeal to reluctant readers). Written in a way that will appeal to teenagers, this is a book for the brave and those who are prepared to be good!
