Heather’s website sums up herfangtasticallygood read best: "Junior high school really sucks for thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod, and not in the good slurp-up-the-blood kind of way. A gang of bullies harasses him daily, the principal is dogging his every move, and the girl he really likes prefers his best friend. Oh, and Vlad has to hide the fact that he's a vampire. When the one teacher he really connects with mysteriously vanishes, Vlad is determined to find him. But then Vlad finds an unsettling note scribbled across his essay:"I know your secret."Vlad must locate his missing teacher, dodge the principal, resist the bullies’ tempting invitations toBite me!, and get a date for the dance—all before he is exposed for the teen vampire he is.”
