Brewer, H. (2007). The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Eighth Grade Bites. New York, New York: Speak, A Imprint of The Penguin Group (USA) Inc.
Meet Vladimir, or as everyone calls him, Vlad. In the eighth grade, the chronicles begin here: Vlad is a year away from high school and already in a state of confusion. He is a half vampire who lost his parents three years ago to an accident. His father was a vampire and his mother was not. Vlad is nowhere near normal. He manages to make it through the day by stashing a bags of blood bank blood in his backpack and slathering the suntan lotion on. His teenage angst is doubled between bullies at school and the fact that other vampires aren’t really partial to him either.
Readers are in for treat, but they should be ready for the Brewer to color outside the traditional vampire lines. The book is consistently funny and a good choice for both disinclined readers and vampire fans combined.
