Author: Kimberly Pauley
Pages: 304
Genre: Supernatural, YA
Very fun read! Young and silly. Cute take on the vampire legends.
BLURB: Most high-school juniors face big questions about their futures, but few ask the question posed to 16-year-old Mina: should she stay human or should she become a vampire, like her parents? In this breezy, often uproarious debut novel, we follow Mina through her decision-making process, which includes classes about vampire history and culture and field trips with her eccentric uncle, the first vampire in the family. The juxtaposition between Mina’s normal, human high-school existence and “vampire camp” creates hilarious contrasts, all narrated in Mina’s wisecracking, authentic teen voice. Readers will race through this lighthearted debut, filled with vampire lore, to discover Mina’s final decision, and they might recognize Mina’s larger struggle to move between very different cultural worlds.
