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 got Sweeney Todd for my birthday. I love MCR! Tell Gerard hello for me! :*)
Ohmygoth, isn't it AWESOME?! After I got it I watched it every day (multiple times) for two weeks. (yes, I'm obsessed). Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are amazing together! It made me giggle that Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, and Helena Bonham Carter were in Sweeney Todd AND Harry Potter together. XD
Have fun at the concert Heather! I'm seething evy over here.
Haha, the comic was hilarious. XD And you are so lucky! I want to see Sweeney Todd so badly! >_<
OMG SWEENEY TODD IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
I watched it in theatres and fell in love with it. i now own the 2 disc SE and the sound track, both of witch i listen to and watch over and over again. YAY!!!! every one else i talk to either didn't like it or sort of liked it. BUT IM DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH IT!! (and not because Johnny Depp is in it cauze im a guy and im not gay).
Im finally glad to find someone who enjoyed it as much as i did.

Sweeney was good! One of my favorite musicals.
Check out the old PBS stage version sometime with Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett. Brilliant! And now available on DVD...

Ah I love those comics! Sounds like something a stupid paranoid human would do. Also: GO SWEENEY!!! I'm obsessed and proud. That was the first musical I actually watched and liked. Huzzah for Johnny Depp!! (He also shares Johnny C.'s name- and for this we love him more)
