A middle schooler comes head-to-head with his vampire slayer crush in this laugh-out-loud funny graphic novel thats a perfect coming-of-age story for anyone whos ever felt too young, too small, or too average. Its the beginning of the new school year and AJ feels like everyone is changing but him. He hasnt grown or had any exciting summer adventures like his best friends have. He even has the same crush hes harbored for years. So AJ decides to take matters into his own hands. But how could a girl like Nia Winters ever like plain vanilla AJ when she only has eyes for vampires? When AJ and Nia are paired up for a group project on Transylvania, it may be AJs chance to win over Nias affection by dressing up like the vamp of her dreams. And soon enough hes got more of Nias attention than he bargained for when he learns shes a slayer. Now AJ has to worry about self-preservation while also trying to save everyone he cares about from a real-life threat lurking in the shadows of Spoons Middle School.

This was a short, light-hearted read for the season. It was fun for a change of pace from the more serious and gruesome stuff I‘ve been reading. However, I don‘t think I‘ll revisit this the way that I will Pumpkin Heads. 3/5

This graphic novel was adorable. It definitely captured the woes of a middle schooler. I loved the characters, they were super relatable. AJ thinks he's too boring to talk to his crush, who is smart and funny and obsessed with vampires. So he decides to pretend to be a vampire to get her attention. Hijinks ensue 🧛🏻

4.5 ⭐
Middle school is tough. AJ is determined not to be the book nerd this year. He really likes a girl, and he will change himself to be what she desires: a Vampire. He darkens his eyes, looks tired, and uses fake blood to give the perfect effect. Too bad it works too well. This book was so much fun. It was about a kid trying to stand out so he could fit in. It was full of fun adventure, wacky friends, and crazy experiences.

4/5⭐
This story is adorable. A book nerd is crushing on a girl at school who is super into vampires. He slowly tries to catch her attention by faking being a vampire.
There are surprise twists, a little mystery, and a great overall message about just being yourself.
A great middle grade graphic novel! 😁 (And not super short, which I appreciated!)

As fall and Halloween draw closer, I‘ve been thinking of the books I want to read to help get into my favorite season and holiday. These are just a few of the books I hope to read by Halloween. The cardigan I bought a couple years ago from ModCloth. The necklace I actually made. It‘s my first attempt at making a necklace and I‘m beyond pleased with how it turned out. Can‘t wait to wear both starting Oct 1. #littensdressedinblood #horrorreads

eri.reads The necklace came out very nice and I love that cardigan! 🤗 4y
eri.reads I also enjoyed this one. I hope you like it! 4y
Skygoddess1 Thank you @eri.reads I can‘t wait to start wearing the cardigan again. I‘m looking forward to The Agony House, it‘s been on my shelves way too long 4y

Very cute!! I requested this from my library after I saw @Bibliogeekery ‘s review.

Someone actually dogeared a graphic novel....ughhh!! Get a bookmark!!
Ok, sorry, I had to vent over that.

Bibliogeekery The dog-earing is NOT OKAY! 5y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @Bibliogeekery I know!! That‘s a major pet peeve!! 5y

There was no actual harming of a vampire in this book. Although it wouldn't have been a bad thing :) Excellent book and story! Graphics were okay (it's the weird noses!!). Our story is based off of three friends, the poor sulky boy who loves to read likes this girl who is into vampires. So why doesn't he pretend he is a vampire!?!?! Well you know what happens when someone pretends to be someone they are not, adventures and chaos ensues! 4 stars

My 11 year old son raced thru this in one sitting last night (thank the Gods for libraries) and then for the first time ever insisted I read it too!

I read the first chapter and I can see why he liked it. Great art and full of 6th grader angst. 😜

Cathythoughts Great stuff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y

The book AJ is reading is called "Mary Potter: Don't Mess with Witches." ??? I love Harry Potter references/nods in other books! #charactersreading

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It‘s a fun read about being the awkward kid who wants to impressions their crush. Plus supernatural elements with buffy and twilight references

Sixth grade is hard enough when you‘re the “boring” member in a trio of friends. It‘s even worse when you like a girl & can‘t work up the courage to talk to her. AJ‘s hopes for a great 6th grade are quickly fading when he discovers the girl he likes is into vampires. So what does he do? He turns himself into a vampire only things don‘t go according to plan. And, as it turns out, he might not be the only “monster” in town. A quick, fun MG/YA read.
