Tenth Grade Bleeds - Softcover

Heather is the author of the bestselling The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series, which has been described as 'deliciously gory'. She was not your typical teen growing up, and she's certainly not your typical adult now. Her favourite colours are black and black. She believes it's quite possible that vampires are running our world's governments. And she begrudges the fact that it's not socially acceptable for people to sleep in coffins. She lives in Missouri with her husband and two children. www.heatherbrewer.com

Grade 6–10—Vladimir Tod just wants to be a normal teen. Unfortunately that is impossible for a vampire who is the only one "living" in the small town of Bathory. Now starting 10th grade, he faces some typical teen problems. His friend Henry seems to be dumping him to hang out with the popular crowd. Pesky Eddie is determined to expose him, thinking this will bring him the popularity and fame he desires. Meredith has agreed to be his girlfriend, and he can't believe someone so perfect would want to be with him. He is troubled by terrible nightmares, and the need for human blood is growing extremely difficult to resist, putting Aunt Nelly, Henry, and Meredith at risk. The wicked vampire D'Ablo is determined to get rid of him and steal his powers for himself. Vlad needs to act fast if he is going to save himself and everything he holds dear. The plot is full of twists and turns, but the tone is darker and more intense than in the earlier books as Vlad struggles to overcome the obstacles thrown in his path and come to grips with who and what he really is. The stakes are high and the ending leaves readers dying for more.—Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY END
