Eighth grade really does bite for Vladimir Tod. He's bullied by a few kids at school, his principal has it out for him, and the girl he likes seems to be interested in his best friend, Henry. He leads a pretty normal life - aside from drinking blood and having a vampire hunter trying to kill him. Don't worry, it's not what you think. He doesn't suck blood or anything like that. Nelly, his dead mother's best friend, works at a hospital and brings him bags of blood to appease his hunger. On top of everything else that isn't going right for Vlad, one of his teachers goes missing and the substitute appears to know a little TOO much about him. Will Vladimir's secret get out? Will he find out more about his background than he wants to know? Read and find out!
