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 |

God, I hate clowns, too!

Glad I'm not alone. Aren't they creepy??
Yeah, I often wonder if we're the only people who play TV tag...
P.S. Totally can't sleep with an open closet and the entrance tot he attic is in mine. Jason, my honey, has to close it for me. It can't even be cracked.
Rach, that's even worse! Bigger Things can hide in attics. And yeah, if the door is even cracked a little, I end up staring at it and getting seriously freaked out until I wake Paul and make him close it for me.
Jason and Paul: knights in shining PJs and Keepers of All Things Scary in the Closet. :)
We pplayed TV tag too, and 1 2 3 hide and go seek... much fun.
AHA! Then we weren't the only ones ;)
We play TV tag in the swimming pool--I think. We never had a name for it though. Now we do!
And Yay! I was just wondering what to blog about today. :)
Snaps to you for admitting your fears! I can't stand clowns either. I found a fridge magnet that says "Can't sleep, clowns will eat me" with a demented happy clown on it. That just about sums it up. I'm afraid of the dark, but not the closet.
Yay Lisa! Yeah, it's hard to recall all the games we played, isn't it?
Sophzilla, my brother used to have that shirt! Totally love it. Clowns are SCARY.
I am the designated closet closer/light in the other room turner offer/door closer/go find out what that noise is investigator. I fear nothing. NOTHING!! Well, except those big poodles, the 3 foot tall ones, they freak me out. But other than that, NOTHING!!
Eryc, those poodles are freaky!! And if their owners dress them as clowns...we're so screwed.
Devon, I'm totally with you on that. :)
This tag thing certainly seems to have spread. Kind of fun. I've gotten more comments from that post alone than any of my other posts.
Glad I could help!
