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 |

I have to say life hasn't been too happy for me over here. Just hopeing you'll pick my name tomorrow. I'll get to writing a little scene today probably. I have to get started on that story some how XD.
Vlad is Russian name
Why's he living in U.S.?
Come to Aussieland
Have a lovely day! :-)
Valentine recipe for Vlad:
Get 2 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream, a handful of sugared strawberries, and a handful of razberries. Drizzle some chocolate syrup and a bag of the finest O+ available for a cross-your-heart valentine sundae. Packed full of iron and a sugar high.
Thats all I got, Im working on my thesis (minions can be old, right?) and my brain is kaput.
I'll put a Haiku since I'm learning Japanese. :)= It usually goes 5-7-5 syllables, but I did 7-5-7.
It leaves stains on the carpet,
It stains his shirts too.
The dry cleaners are concerned.
Not very good. -_- Maybe the scene will be better, or even a poem. GAH! I love this contest! Writing poems and short stories are so fun!
LOL... I did a haiku too!
sing the moon, the night
the peace and quiet of dark
warm sun comes too soon
Hope that is good enough from this old dodger.
ok im gonna try again...here goes....
Eight Grade Bites, Ninth Grade Slays, Tenth Grade Bleeds, face it....sometimes school SUCKS

These are great, Minions! Keep 'em coming!
Ahem... A haiku. lol.
Snack packs and blood on hotdogs
Who wants to eat that?
Life kind of sucks as a vamp
Tehehe....
Also, the literal translation of Vladimir is "prince." I only know that because I always planned on the name "Vlad Michael" for a first boy child until Jason came along and told me he didn't want our children to get beat up. lol.

I admit, it's not easy
Being a bloodsucking creature of night
With all the homework, crushes, and garlic
It's rare when things go right.
Yet despite the idiot bullies
And the annoying allergy to the sun
I've still got my human best friend
And undescovered powers to make things fun.
Just because other vamps
Seem to want me dead
Doesn't mean I can't live my life
And no, I DON'T have a coffin for a bed.
I don't pay attention to curfew;
I like to wander the night.
Despite some of it's turnoffs
Being a vampire doesn't ALWAYS bite.
I wrote that awhile ago. Hope you like it!
<3333
How about a cheer? :*)
Vlad, Vlad, he's our man, if he can't bleed you, no one can!
Hope it didn't "suck", but I'm sick and brain dead...
Can't wait for TGB!
My school library has a whole section dedicated to vampire books and me and my friends suggested them all! Currently EGB has several holds and many impatient readers waiting for more!
*Random* My teacher say i read about vampires too much *doesn't see the problem*
Can't wait to see what suckishly cool things Vald and you have in store for us!
-Janna*James*
I borrowed EGB from a friend and i loved it! So even though im not a good writer im going to give this a shot in hopes that i win. So here we go:
My name is Vlad, and im a vampire. if you dont like it, you can bite me
I know its short but i think its worth a shot
