What People Are Saying About 'Eighth Grade Bites'
"A spooky mystery that's funny, gruesome, heartwarming, spellbinding,
sad, joyous, surprising and topped off with a tasty blend of blood and
chocolate. Yum. What more could you ask for?" ~D.J. MacHale,
New York Times-bestselling author of PENDRAGON: JOURNAL OF AN ADVENTURE
THROUGH TIME AND SPACE
"'Eighth grade Bites' had me on the edge of my seat. It's a
great piece of fiction. It drops you right into the action, grabs
you by the throat (pun intended), and won't let go. Vladimir Tod
is a truly sympathetic character cursed with an existence not of
his own doing, but doing his best to do the right thing. It's part
'Goosebumps' mixed with 'Harry Potter' and a dash – no, a heaping
tablespoon – of Stephen King. If you're in eighth grade, or
a vampire, or an eighth grade vampire, 'Eighth Grade Bites' is a
definite must read!"~Butch Hartman, creator of Nickelodeon's
THE FAIRLY ODD PARENTS and DANNY PHANTOM
"Eighth Grade Bites is a terrific vampire tale told with a
sharp, middle-school grin. It definitely does not bite!" ~Christopher
Moore, author of BLOODSUCKING FIENDS and A DIRTY JOB
"Eighth Grade Bites is a delightful novel filled with dark,
biting humor that will appeal to everyone who ever felt they were
different. A deft hand at depicting the angst of teen years, Heather
Brewer does a wonderful job blending vampire legend with the modern
day horror that strikes fear in the heart of so many: the eighth
grade."~Katie MacAlister, New York Times-bestselling author
of EVEN VAMPIRES GET THE BLUES
"Heather Brewer has invented the most endearing of vampires
in Vlad, an eighth grader juggling the woes of adolescence with the
decidedly unique difficulties of being a vampire. She perfectly captures
the humor and angst of eighth grade, mixed with a nail-biting adventure.
Utterly charming and irresistible!" ~Liza Conrad, author of
HIGH SCHOOL BITES: THE LUCY CHRONICLES
"This book will fool you. Just when you think you've identified
it as a story lit by the cheery glow of a slightly scary jack-o-lantern,
it becomes something else -- a tale told by the flickering light
of a dying campfire late at night. And the shadows are very dark
indeed. A surprising mix of humor and horror." ~Douglas
Rees, author of VAMPIRE HIGH
"Fresh and fast-paced, with just the right brew of chills and
laughs. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens when
Vlad hits Grade Nine." ~Nancy Baker, author of KISS OF THE
VAMPIRE
"A fabulous book from a gifted storyteller! I never wanted
it to end." ~Gena Showalter, author of OH MY GOTH |

Your cover is great, I love it! I'm not looking forward to my own copyedits, but at least now I know what to expect! Good luck!
Steph :)
Thanks, Steph! And yeah, copyedits...phew! Hard stuff, but definitely thankful for editors and copyeditors. If the book had gone out as-is...ick. I don't even wanna think about it.
Big, big congrats, Heather! My nieces and nephews will be receiving copies. Woohooo!
XO,

Thank you, Christopher! And I'll be happy to sign every one. :-*
Thanks, Greg! Yeah, I'm loving the fonts too. :)=
Cool, Heather! Love Vlad's blue eyes and dark hair. He looks very mysterious. Pretty hot for an eighth grader!
Hey... late to the party, but damn that looks good.
Congrats on such a great cover and having the publisher go with your ideas.
I put up a link to the pre-order on my blog, but since you are one of the few people who visit my blog I don't know how much it will help :)
Keep up with the copy edits. I know you'll do great :D
Thanks Paula & Ewoh!
And don't worry, Ewoh...I'll buy it. :)
Awesome cover!!! Can't wait to receive pup's copy so you can sign it!
You're a doll, Sybir! :-*
Congratulations! It must be such an exciting moment, actually seeing what your book is going to look like. Kind of like seeing your kid for the first time, only (I would guess) longer in the making. It looks very cool!
Thanks, Jen! :)=
