When a vegetarian vampire moves into his dream castle, he soon discovers he has an unwanted house guest …



Colin’s new castle is perfect in every way – apart from the DUCK.


The duck pops up when Colin’s in the bath. When he’s watching telly. When he’s ON THE LOO. QUACK!


But where there’s a will, there’s a way. Colin has a PLAN. Will he succeed in banishing Duck from his castle and leading the bird-free life that he dreams of?
