Vlad has to keep his vampire urges in order while coping with the pressures of middle college.

Thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod really hates junior high. Bullies harass him, the principal is definitely dogging him, and the girl he prefers prefers his best friend. Oh, and Vlad has a secret: His mom was human, but his dad was a vampire. With no idea of the degree of his powers, Vlad challenges daily with his bloodstream desires and his enlarged fangs. Whenever a substitute teacher begins to issue him a touch too carefully, Vlad worries that his cover is going to be blown. But then he faces a much bigger issue: He’s getting hunted with a vampire killer.
