Surprisingly entertaining and thoughtful. What can a resourceful boy do to be able to fit into both his vampire family and his human world? Funky illustrations may turn off some readers, but I think they fit.
Another nostalgia read from my childhood. It's kind of silly now, but still a bit fun as well. It does work a bit too hard to be "kid-friendly" (the kid's not a vegetarian or anything, but vampires killing an animal to eat to survive would somehow be horrific?), but the overall story is kinda entertaining. Definitely a kid's book, rather than having the YA appeal to all ages, so I'm well out of the age range to benefit from it, though the fact it was a favorite of mine in early elementary school should mean something.
