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 |

Heather,
2 Things
1. You should seriously make Valdimir Tod a movie or a cartoon series on TV
2. You should also make Vladimir Tod into a manga book. That would be awesome!
oh my god al! i LOVE to read naruto!!!!! go Gaara! Sasuke! i've watched most of the episodes, but i'm on manga eleven.well, now twelve, i just finished it. have you ever heard of death note?
once again LOVE Gaara!
-Amanda :O
one of you anonymous' i totally know how you feel. I'm a total loser and kids really like to do mean things to me such as throw me down flights of stairs.. (hence ninth grade slays) also I love death note and naruto!!1 Anyone ever hear of D. Gray-man?
and sorry to double post but I need to know if anyone wants to see the new movie quarintined? it looks really freaky.
Quarantined looks sweeeeet! I've heard of D. Gray-man, but haven't delved. What about the rest of you Minions?
And hey, when the bullies are treating you like crap, just remember taht auntie Heather was a total loser in school...and look where I am now. ;) All those bullies...they're working really boring jobs and some are still living at home with their moms.
ha that makes me laugh!!!! and You should try D.Gray-man auntie.. it beeth amazin'
I trust your judgement, Ben. Auntie Heather shall delve. :)=
Thanx for the advise! i really need a self-esteem boost from ninth grade alrady :)
I haven't heard of D.Gray-man, what is it?
Jess
omg amanda, i love gaara!!! and sasuke!!! we have so much in common!!! yeah, i've heard of death note. i don't watch it much, and i don't read it much, but i LOOOOVE L. he's so awesome!!! my family doesn't go out much, so i'm only up to naruto 6. i need number 7...why do i have to be so poor??? =3
love, al
Well the problem with me is that they're the jocks too... and I'm a pcifist so I refuse to fight back unless I'm getting raped or something... so they beat up on me.
I'm a pacifist too :)
And NO ONE has a right to put their hands on you. Please, if people are getting physically violent toward you, please tell someone in authority.
I agree. Kids in my school got hurt really bad (freshmen friday) and one got a broken rib.
Tell someone before you get hurt really bad!
Jess
people who hurt you are hurting inside...i've never gotten beaten up...who could beat up my delicious face??? seriously??? =3
blood and fangs, al
LOVE that self-esteem, al! ;)
yea i knoe wat its like fer people to look down on u i'm the only one in my school who listens to deathcore/metalcore, i'll wear my skinnies and and 'Underaoth' shirt and they all think i'm weird but ya knoe wat it makes me different and all i need is my music
-Denise
I know what you guys mean. It's good to have your own style and like whatever you want to like and not worry about what every one else thinks of you, or how they'll judge you, cause that's a big waste of time. I think it's best to just be yourself. :)=
Well said, blackleaper12! Be yourselves, Minions. As Dr. Seuss once said, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
hehe.. nice saying heather. And They don't do that often.. just when they're angry cause they failed a class.... which is more often than you think but its still not all that bad.. And to tell you the truth telling people makes it worse.
anyway. Yeah I dress goth and people think I cut myself (why I don't know but It's not true.) so I'm a total loner.
Maybe you're not telling the right people, Ben (though I can totally sympathize - when I was being bullied, several teachers and the principal would all snicker and ignore it; one told me it would "build chracter", which was complete nonsense). Have you reached out to a school counselor? Most schools have anti-bullying policies in force these days...does yours?
Mine does but they don't monitor the bathrooms... thats where most of this happens.. and I swear I've tried wverybody.. I hope it stops by high school... its been slowing down to since I'm not on their team.. hehe..
You can't wait a thing like that out, trust me. High school isn't what you want to pray for...unless you like more work :P
Jess
yes! finally! woooooo!
Does it have an ISBN?
