As vampirism spreads following the events of Vampire Dawn, the handbook becomes an essential resource for anyone adjusting to a nocturnal existence.
Quick Summary
If you or your kid loves anything spooky and silly at the same time, this little handbook is a blast to flip through. It's written as a "how-to guide" for newly turned vampires trying to figure out the basics of undead life things like what to eat (okay, mostly blood), how to deal with sunlight, and the social etiquette of being nocturnal which gives the whole thing a very funny, tongue-in-cheek tone that kids eat up. At only around 3,800 words, it's a quick read that even reluctant readers can power through, and the MG+ interest level means it's got enough wit and wordplay to keep older elementary and middle schoolers entertained without being too babyish. Parents will appreciate that while it's firmly in the spooky comedy camp, it never gets too dark or scary think Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets a vampire survival manual. Kids who devoured the "Vampire Dawn" series or anyone who loves a good parody will get the most kick out of this one, and it makes a great companion read to other humor-packed fantasy guides like the "How to Train Your Dragon" guides or "The Worst-Case Scenario" survival books.
