Vlad has to keep his vampire urges under control while dealing with the pressures of middle school.
Thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod really hates junior high. Bullies harass him the principal is dogging him and the girl he likes prefers his best friend. Oh and Vlad has a secret: His mother was human but his father was a vampire. With no idea of the extent of his powers Vlad struggles daily with his blood cravings and his enlarged fangs. When a substitute teacher begins to question him a little too closely Vlad worries that his cover is about to be blown. But then he faces a much bigger problem: He's being hunted by a vampire killer.
