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 |

GAH! I am gunna miss you, Auntie! I wish I could go w/ you to Indiana! BYE!
That sound's like buckets o' fun. I'd love to go, really, it sounds awesome, but I'm not really capable of getting there DX
Have FUN and watch out for stray clowns, they carry knives these days you know.
and what wouldnt you do, auntie? ☻
I wouldn't kick a kitten. :)
And there are a few other things on that list, for sure.
Among them:
cause harm to others, paint any part of my house with pastels, invade China, ban books, invest in the stock market, poke a teacher with a spork (unless they really, really had it coming)...
Aw, i wanted to paint my house...or at least my own room. oh well :p
Have fun in Indiana! I'll be stuck here doign more school work since it never ends.
Have fun!
Jess
that sounds like so much fun! i wish i could go, but it's just too far away! have fun!!
i love kittens!!! i hate pastels, what good would come to me if i ivaded china, what books would i ban, i hate math, and i would totally poke a teacher with a spork. that reminds me of a funny story i'll tell later. i have to go now. urgent plans...bye!!!
I want to go!!!!
;_; why are you never close to NH?
hey, i'm back!!! so, about the funny story. last year, when i was in 7th grade, we had to write limericks for english class and one boy in my class used the word spork. the teacher said that it wasn't a word, but then the whole class was against her. we all said it was a word. she said to look it up in a dictionary, so we did. we found it. we even found it on dictionary.com!! then she looked in a dictionary from the 30s or something like that. we were all like, "that's not fair!!! you can't look in that dictionary!!!" it was really funny. ...ok, so you had to be there... ♥
oh, and the boy in my class got to use the word spork at the end. i felt so victorious!!!!
I feel like such a dork...I spent so much time on my drawing for the contest...and I can't even send it, since the deadline is in 2 days...and mail takes much longer than that...My brother's scanner isn't working either...so I'll have to settle for a picture of it...so it'll be crappy...
BTW: You should come visit here. We have many scary places and it's loads of fun.
And when do you find time to write?
Funny story Alexis. Yes, you can find any word's definition online, but physical dictionaries are trying so hard to go out of style. >_<
thanks, rj. oh, and if anybody knows, what wrist is vlad's tatoo on??? i forget...
When you say "causing harm to others" do you mean bringing them into harm or affecting them in a harmful way? Not that i would do anything like that........(unless they had it comin)>:)=
I agree with minion 38-14, if they have it comin' to them they have it comin'.
the tattoo looks is in paranthesis and two straight lines with three slash marks itn the middle...yeah, i'm really bad at describing that kind ofstuff.
Jess
"-don't do anything Auntie Heather wouldn't do." double negative. :)= lol Just remember, What would Auntie do?
Anyway, lucky Auntie! I never get to go any haunted places and there are SO many haunted houses here in LA. The Mortuary is one of them, and House of Screams, and etc... And I'm going to my aunt's for Halloween so big whoop. -_-|| Anyway, hope you have fun. :)=
i know what the tattoo looks like. thanks anyway, jess. i need to know what wrist it's on for my halloween costume. but thanks again, jess, for actually realizing that i'm here.
Perhaps you could look at the books?
Or maybe ask the author? *wink wink nudge nudge* they do tend to know things like that.
shut up!!!! why do you think i posted my question on here? in case heather or anybody knew!!! and, yeah, i'm too lazy to look in the books. ;P
Lol, ur welcome Alexis, i like being helpful to my minion sisteren...and brothern...and other peoples...
Anyway, it might be his left wrist but i'm not that sure. Srry.
Jess
it's ok, jess. i love being kind. and mean. and kind. and mean...yeah. i think it's his left, but i just wanted to make sure.
Was that sarcasm or annoyance?
Yes well, I am of no help to you as I do not own the books or have any reference website to go to... sorry.
I looked at the fanart and there was one picture that featured his bare wrist, the tattoo was on his left wrist, but it could have very well been mistaken.
i was just thanking you, rj. it wasn't sarcasm or annoyance. you answered to the best of your ability, and that's enough to gain my friendship. ♥
Hey Minions - I'm still in Indiana, but poking my head in long enough to say that Vlad's Mark is on his left wrist. ;)
hey alexis, did you make a vampy smiley hoodie for Vlad? if you did that's totally awesome! if not.. i don't know how it's Vlad. i decided who i was being before i thought of being Vlad...Haruhi Suzumiya, along with my friend who is being Kyon.
-amanda^^
Yay! Mystery solved. :)
You're welcome. ^_^
