Watch a QuickTime trailer for this book.
5 Stars:A classic tale of coming of age with a supernatural bite that even the guys will secretly love.Among some of my favorites. Outstanding literary work. The characters are well developed, interesting. The liked characters are likable and the hated are unlikable. The writing is captivating enough to keep you interested until the end and leave you wanting more. It has a fairly original or uniquely well-developed plot. The pretense and romance were well balanced and done with properly
Vladimir Tod is an eighth grade vampire born of a human mother. His parents died when he was ten, so he lives with his Aunt Nelly, a human who knows his secret. His best friend Henry also knows, but Vlad hides his bloodthirsty ways from the general public. It's bad enough that he gets picked on by two jerky guys in his grade and can barely work up the courage to say hi to the girl he's crushing on - just imagine if they also knew he was a vampire! But when Vlad's favorite teacher goes missing, a
All I have to say is two things:One: TCVT is better than Twilight! First, vampires dont flippin' "sparkle" in sunlight, mmkay? They burst into flames and end in a pile of ashes, never to return to the face of the earth ever again! (Lesson learned from D'Ablo in the...Third book. :P)Two: I wishhhh the characters were REALLLLL~~ Wait, what am I talking about, in my world, I go out and kidnap my favorite characters from books and have them live with me! (so far my house is full of kidnapped
3.75 🌟 Fast, simple and fun read. Very easy read for young readers, especially those delving into the world of vampires for the first time.
I picked this book up on a whim. It looked alright, even if it was another YA vampire novel. There was no female first person, and no one was in love with hot sexy vampire hunk. It was a story about a vampire kid going through vampire stuff. Well, there is a teensy bit of romance, but it takes up like 5-10% of the book. This is still set in the teenage world, so it's bound to happen.I managed to finish it in less than two days, and I must say, I was most impressed. It wasn't mind blowing-ly good
I really liked the sense of humor in this book and all of the references. It served as a good introduction to Vlad's world, as well, but at points I thought it got a little too predictable concerning Mr. Otis despite all the twists and turns. I was confused as to why the mark was given near the end regardless of the sense of community/family it offers because wasn't that what the father needed to get rid of if he didn't want to be found? Anyway, I look forward to more plot development and

Junior high really sucks for thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod. 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.Watch a QuickTime trailer for this book.

I'm a complete sucker for vampire stories and "Eighth Grade Bites" did not disappoint me. The story is about a boy named Vladimir Tod an eighth grader with a deep dark secret -- he's a vampire. After his parents died mysteriously and tragically in a flash fire, Vlad was taken in by his "aunt" Nelly, his mother's best friend. As far as Vlad is concerned, he's the only vampire in the world, aside from his now deceased father.
