Sammy Feral’s Diaries of WeirdSammyFeral

Sammy Feral is a lucky boy. His family run a zoo and so he spends his spare time hanging out with orangutans, crocodiles and snakes. But his luck has just run out – his entire family has been infected with a werewolf virus! Now his mum, dad and sisters are howling at the moon, craving raw meat and, worst of all, trying to infect Sammy! Luckily, Donny and Red – a crack team who investigate animals that don’t exist – are on hand to help. But with an evil professor determined to take over Feral Zoo and no known cure for the virus, things aren’t looking good for Sammy!

Sammy Feral’s Diaries of Weird – Yeti Rescuecv

Sammy’s back for another weird adventure! Ever since Sammy discovered that there are crazier animals in the world than just lemurs and lions, his life has become pretty weird. So when a Mongolian Death Worm turns up at his zoo, he’s not that surprised. The Death Worm needs help: his best friend, Bert the Yeti Chief, has gone missing. Can Sammy summon the Ministry of Yetis and rescue Bert? He’s going to need help from his old friends Donny and Red, not to mention a very reluctant Wish Frog…

To make some extra money for Feral Zoo, Sammy, Red and Donny decide to promote their cryptozoology business – investigating animals that don’t exist. What could possibly go wrong?

Everything! Hired to check out sightings of a ghost dog, the friends uncover the terrifying legend of the Hell Hound. Anyone who is seen by this terrible beast is struck with a death curse. So when Sammy’s best friend Mark runs into the deadly dog, Sammy knows he doesn’t have long to figure out how to save him!

Sammy Feral’s Diaries of Weird – Dragon Gold

Sammy couldn’t be more excited when two pandas arrive at Feral Zoo all the way from China. But when he finds a mysterious golden egg hidden inside the panda crate, he knows things are about to get WEIRD – again.

Soon the egg hatches, and Sammy comes face to face with a tiny golden dragon. And, it seems to think he’s its dad!

Sammy needs answers, and he needs them fast – who sent the dragon, and why? It’s not long before Sammy realises he’s in more danger than he could ever imagine…

      Thanks for asking! At the moment I don’t have any plans to write another Sammy Feral book, but if you haven’t already checked out my Felix Frost Books then please do!

        Thanks, Milo! As for Sammy’s wish…he hasn’t had a chance to make it yet! I think Sammy is very happy with his life, and loves his family and friends – he doesn’t really need to wish for anything. I think it’s a good idea for Sammy to keep the wish in his back pocket in case he ever needs to use it at a later date…maybe he’ll need a wish to save the day at some point!

      Hi Victor, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a comment 🙂 I’m so thrilled to hear your boys enjoy reading my books. No plans for any more Sammy Feral books at the moment. But you might want to check out my Felix Frost books, which are in a similar genre and are just as bonkers as Sammy! Eleanor

      I’m so thrilled your 5-year-old loves Sammy Feral! Sorry to hear you’re having trouble finding the books though. I usually direct people online – try Amazon. Failing that, you can always contact my publishers directly (Quercus) to see if they can hunt out copies for you!
