Eighth Grade Bites by Heather Brewer

My Rating: 4 stars


The title says it all for this book. Eighth grade literally bites for Vladimir Tod. Every day, Vlad is harassed by the gang of school bullies, the principal watches him constantly, and the girl he likes prefers his best friend. And he has to constantly keep the secret that he is a vampire. When the one teacher he really connects with disappears, Vlad has to find him. All while learning more about his dead parents, fighting the bullies, dodging the principal and trying to get a date to the next dance.
I thought this book was really awesome. I really liked how the author incorporated a complicated vampire life into the body of an eighth grader. It makes it really easy to relate to Vladimir Tod. I promise you’ll like this book!
