Vampire High




A hilarious, quirky look at a very strange high school. This fresh, unusual book draws readers in with humor and excitement while fostering thought on important issues (such as prejudice and tolerance). This is light, enjoyable fare with a thoughtful edge, and has been very popular in paperback. Newly repackaged with its hardcover companion, Vampire High: Sophomore Year, this paperback edition will garner even greater sales!

It doesn’t take long for Cody Elliot to realize that his new high school is a little different. The other students are supernaturally strong, don’t like the sunlight, and are always placing orders at the local blood bank. When his new friend shows him his fangs, Cody doesn’t need any more clues—these kids are vampires! As Cody struggles to fit into this secretive community, he disrupts centuries of human-vampire segregation, with some serious—and some seriously funny—consequences.

In sharp, humorous, and insightful prose, Douglas Rees creates a world of vampires where the real issue for humans is not the fear of being bitten, but the need to get along.
