Book Review: EIGHTH GRADE BITES

For the last year, Sarah and I have been on the hunt for vampire books that might appeal to the more...well, manly vampire lovers. The CIRQUE DU FREAK books by Daren Shan are AMAZING, but I needed something more.

So I picked up EIGHTH GRADE BITES: THE CHRONICLES OF VLADIMIR TOD by Heather Brewer.

It follows the story of  13-year old Vlad Tod. He's pale, thin, and gets picked on a lot. He's interested in a pretty, unattainable girl and his best friend knows his secret. The story moves fast and is witty, sarcastic, and an all-around good time.

For boys who would like to read about blood-thirsty vampired who aren't quite as "sparkley" as Edward Cullen, this series is a great way to go. Then pick up CIRQUE DU FREAK...then move on to Anne Rice's VAMPIRE LESTAT :)
