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 |

Luv AVL

Happy b-day Vlad!
Tell me abotu it Alexis. I'm goign to be dragged to the movie...and probably twice -_-
Jess
never mind, i cant see it tuesday cause its my cuz who thinks all goth people are evil's birthday, yay -_-
Luv AVL

Luv AVL
Kewl...but i think chocolate milk counts cause of the chocolate and...nvm, i don't want to talk abotu science.
That sux about your cousin. My cousins (the onyl one;s aroung my age) don't get along, so it;s very awkward durign thanksgiving....speakign of which.
Happy thanksgiving!
Jess
well, i'm reading twilight. i'm not very far in the book and i already hate it. the first chapter is such a waste. all bella, is that her name?, all bella does is go on about how she hates the town she's moving back to and how she cried herself to sleep and how i think it's edward is giving her the evil eye and how she cries when she's angry. a huge waste. so i'm not gonna see. my friend is obsessed with twilight. she's going tonight with some of her friends to actually watch it, then she's going tomorrow with some friends that want to make fun of it. sorry for rambling.
AHHH! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VLADIMIR TOD! If you were real (yn) , i would give you a nice present! But anyways congrats on all your sucess Heather, and to Vlad. :D
oh, and yes I personally think the Twilight movie is worth your money, espesically since Robert Pattinson is SOO good looking ;)
Actually, believe it or not, I liked it. I was expecting an epic fail, which is probably why I liked it so.
I think it's worth the money, though don't you not like it? It's surprisingly accurate, so you probably wouldn't like it.
Happy birthday Vlad, have lots of cake and whatever else you like to eat.
P.S. Take A Bow by Muse is like the best song ever.
I loved TWILIGHT. I loathed BREAKING DAWN.
Hm.
Then it's worth it.
Happy birthday Vlad! ^_^ And Late happy birthday Jacob! I was busy, so I'm pretty late on that, oops ^^;
I'm going to see the Twilight movie in a little less than two hours. Even though I don't like the books (though I do love to hate them, no offense to any twilight fans) a bunch of my friends are going and I haven't been out to see a movie for a looooong time, so I figured I'd tag along.
And I love that song too, RJ! Muse is awesome :D
Happy B-day Vlad!!! Wow, November 21st? I never would've guessed. I always thought it was...October...
Anyway, I'm not so into Twlight. I like it, sure, just not so much as the crazed people at my school do. >_> And I read the books so I thought I might as well see the movie. I thought the actors were really bad though. Edward looks too old. Bella girl's a bad actress. Carlisle looks like a Ken Doll. Esme's not so pretty. Jasper looks like he's surprised by everything (wide eyes). In fact, the thing that's mostly making me go see it is that my friend is making me, and so I can laugh at it. ^ ^
If you liek teh book see hte movie, if not then don't...unless your beign dragged by soem friends to see it liek me.
I' m in teh middle of it too, and i'm not a big fan honestly...the only reason i have the book is cause i got it as a birthday gift...long story on that one.
But, if you do liek teh book, that's good for you. Just please stop pushign teh book onto others!
Jess
I've never made someone read it, or told them to, I've suggested it, if you think suggesting things is harassment then that's you. And I really hate talking about it, anyone I've talked to about it either hates it or loves it and has really strong things to say about it, strong things that I don't care to hear. Which is annoying. And people have been acting like it's a sin to like it. Which is offensive.
I didn't mean suggesting, i meant the forcing to read the book (liek givign it as a birthday gift). It's good to express your opinions ona book, but not good when you are dayign how almighty great it is, which most of my friends have done.
it's a matter of opinion. Honestly, if you want to talk abotu, go ahead, i'm not tellign you to stop. All i'm sayign is don't make soemoen else feel really bad that they haven't read it.
Jess
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VLAAAAAAAADDDD!!!!!!
I went to the premiere of Twilight, and coming from a guy who enjoyed the book (Only read the first one) I thought the movie was AMAZING!!!!!! I want to see it again... and I just saw it yesterday 0_0
But ya... you should go. The casting was perfect in my opinion, all the characters worked perfectly. And they stuck really close to the book. Really good job.
I even wore my vampire fangs and minion bling to the premiere :)=
Nice. If i did that my mom woudl make me take the fangs out...and my friends would laugh, but i'm okay with that :)=
Jess
Happy Birthday Vlad!!!!!!! Uh, for me, i am afraid that Twilight will ruin the book for me, but that's just my opinion. I agree Auntie, Breaking Dawn just didn't do it for me. :)= Happy Birthday again Vlad!!
hmm i meant the Twilight movie, just to make that clear. The movie would ruin the book....:)=
Yeah i know it sucks bout my cuz! all of my cuz are either older or younger than me, she is older, and she hates me, and she spent the whole night being a brat cuz i wore an outfit (the only outfit i ever got to wear) that i guess classified as goth, it was so bad! she actually attacked me, then i left the room to sleep in another, and she went looking for me with her phone going 'come out little demon' i was afriad to go to sleep for like an hour cuz i thought she would like jump on me when i fell asleep! but i cant wait to see twilight, i have the books on my christmas list, basiccly my whole christmas list is books LoL
Luv AVL
I LOVED TWILIGHT! A little cheesey, i admit, but fangtastic anyway!
Is that you Anna (anonymous)?
Anyways, Jess, I haven't done that, and your friends have wronged you by doing it. They're being pretty bad sports about it, though getting someone who likes to read a book for their birthday doesn't sound bad, were they pressuring you to read it or something?
Bleh, your cousin sounds like a... gothist or something (like a racist, except against goth people).
Yeah RJ she is LoL i say that with people who think kids cant do sumpen, theyre a Kidist. basicly my hole family are gothist, she the worst one tho
Luv AVL
Wise words, RJ.
The Twilight movie is most defently worth every penny. (however I may sugest makeing sure you have a good eye doctor on hand. Edward's chest hair may blind you forever) I was on here last night and I was like "Woah! happy birthday, Vlad" XD
I love to read, but she wouldn't stop pesterign me about it...her nad every other person in a 5 feet radius.
Pressure, the last thing i need right now.
My famiyl is...different. Half of it is like yours AVl (i feel your pain! lol) and the other half is like a littel drama and chuck full of history.
I looked up 'goth' online and found the result as 'Someone who is unique and not afraid of being disliked for it' or something to that extent, which I've also read as the meaning of 'superchick'.
My parents have strong opinions against publicly considered 'evil' things, like vampires or 'goths'.
Which words were wise?
That's a very general description, but a good start it has stylistic beginnings in punk. (Auntie Heather has been goth since there were goths)
These words were wise, RJ: I haven't done that, and your friends have wronged you by doing it. They're being pretty bad sports about it, though getting someone who likes to read a book for their birthday doesn't sound bad
Very smart Auntie :)=
i will be a true goth once i leave the house, cuz then i can be one, jus becuase sombody is goth doesnt mean they are bad (like my cuz thinks that if i go into a church i will melt, even tho i'm a better christian then herLoL), what about all those trenzoids? you know those girls were all they think about is boys and they think they better and they follow the trends like there they're god or something) those are the girls that i dont like, people are so prediduce.
Luv AVL
"Goth" isn't about clothes, AVL. It's about attitude.
i liked the movie
but i hope the next one is better
i say go see it auntie
:)=
I see I see I see. Thank you. Well if you go to Urban Dictionary (I got to it with the searching thing that just redirects to a page via Firefox... google probably would work) and search for 'goth' then you will find paragraphs upon paragraphs that define it in much more detail.
A 'better' Christian? O.o
Okay, Minions, I'll go see it! :)=
No worries, RJ, I don't need Urban Dictionary to know what goth is. :)
Okay, just trying to help.
Yays, I hope you like it.
Goth is a way to express yourself...i am like goths in many ways (i probably am). Those Trenzoids are pains! they're so annoying!
Jess
Wow, Camidee I totally agree with you Hollywood has a really great way of screwing movie/books up. Sorry don't mean to switch the topic off the goth thing. But does it really matter if your a goth or not, or even what a goth is? I mean who really cares, it's what you are not what you're labeled.
Also Auntie has your virus/bug thing gone away yet?
i know that auntie it came out wrong, i have the attitude, it just gets annoying when my family is shoving pink down my throat.
Luv AVL p.s this is soo stupid but you made me happy when you talked to me, like you do that eveytime i am so stupid LoL
Jess, Yeah i know trendzoids r so annoying!
Rj, what i meant by that was i try to be a better person, she gets her 'haha's by making people feel bad, and saying how much better she is.
Luv AVL
Minion 38-14 has it: labels are for soup cans and they DON'T MATTER. What matters is what kind of person you are and how you treat others. Tolerance, my Minions, in incredibly important. Practice it.
By the way, Minion 38-14, sweet of you to ask. My bug is on its way out. Just a bit of a cough now. I'm so relieved! It's so difficult to write when I'm sick.
Happy getting better auntie:)=
your right auntie, and minion 38-14. it gets really stupid when someone labels you, if you wanna label yourself go ahead, but it usually feels like your getting a sticker put of your forehead saying "HI, I AM......" whatever they label you to be.
BLAH, it sucks!
Luv AVL
That's the thing, AVL, things can only bother you...if you let them.
Your a good person to talk to auntie, you know that? you inspired me to start writing my vampire book (nobody except my best friend knows more than that), and when ever something like that is getting to me, i write, you help me with that stuff..... even if you dont know it.
Luv AVL
That makes me really happy to hear, AVL. :)
You Minions help me too. Believe it or not, as much as Auntie Heather loves to write, some days - like when I get a less than glowing review or when I'm just feeling down - I visit Bleeding Ink or the forums or MySpace and you Minions urge me to keep going. That means more to me than you'll ever know, to know that you all care so much.
Your welcome auntie, and more so Thank you, your a great auntie to me. even if i never met you. :)=
You help me sooo much with my writing, and when i'm feeling sad, cuz i come here to see that people are good whether you like stuff or not, and your very nice,
Love AVL
Whenever you are feeling like people dont like your stuff, because of stupid critics, come here, we care for you, and never stop writing! well you can just you should not do it over a bad review, because no matter the review we're here for you!
Luv AVL
Luckily, the bad reviews are few and far between...so far. *crosses fingers*
You Minions are so sweet!
Okay, Auntie is off to work...
my fingers are crossed, Sorrry for pestering! bye Auntie Heather
Luv AVL
Critics need to learn more ;P
We have your back Auntie Heather. You have givin me so many ideas and they've realyl helped.
Thanks!
Jess
Back on the tolerance thing, a lot of my life involves tolerance, I would love to just tell people exactly how wrong they are about something, but then they would neither listen to me or ever trust me again, which is really really very sad.
On labels, I've been labeled once, as 'quiet'. The person and I aren't exactly tight, as you can see.
My label is 'Random emo girl'....soemwhat accurate but i am not emo...to me at least.
I have tolerence only for little kids cause they don't know any better. Anyone else i have to really keep it in tight, and it's not that easy for me either.
Jes
my bf n i r goth its fun having ppl be scared of u
Twilight broke a record ;)=
Luv AVL
lol, i like scarign peopel too...but i usualyl do cause i'm either to hyper or weird.
I wish my friends were goth, then it would be mroe fun instead of all teh preps -_-
Jess
I have mostly black clothes, but I'm not really the 'stand out of the crowd, awesome, unique' that would qualify me as goth... so yeah.
Indeed it did XD
I stand out only because there are a few small classes (honors class) where i can be pointed out easily...that an di don't stop talkign in abotu two. And that's why i love my teacher, she doesn't bother to stop us from talking (unless she's talkign abotu soemthign important)
Jess
Hm.
I'm going to be leaving for the Holiday tomorrow so I won't be on until Saturday night I think, possibly Friday... which will explain my impending absence.
ok, does anyone here like Matchbook Romance? I love them,
Luv AVL
Have fun RJ.
No, what is it, a band?
JEss
I might.
Seeign family or soemthing?
Btw, i finalyl saw Twilight...yeah..that's really it
Jess
Good for you. I'm not sure I want to hear what you have to say about it though... And yes, obnoxious boy cousin (who would violently trash talk Twilight if we went to see it probably), two of them. BLAH. Okay they can be amusing but I always laugh at the wrong time (like when he broke a plate last year... >_<) so... BLAH. crap, made my self laugh at the memory.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VLAD!
Have a fangtastic day!
Drink a lot of O positive blood and be happy!
Love You!
Vlad you rock!
P.S. Like, how old did you turn?
...i laughed through most of the movie adn my friend got mad saying "it's a scary romantic! no a comedy!"...that's probably the last time i'm goign to go to a movie with her lol.
My cousins are both girls, preppy girls that have that annoying voice, and are spoiled rotten..or at least one fo them is.
I wish you luck...but that is funny that he jsut roke a plate.
Jess
I personally LOVED Twilight! but New Moon made me cry and Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.. were just.. idk.. too suspenseful! I'd like to see how they make the [[Bowchickawowow]] scene if they do Breaking Dawn in a Movie.
I liked the vlad books way better if you ask me. Me and my friend jada bought ours and totally loved them! I think it's because he's our age!
Anyways AWESOME job on the books! I think i'll be visiting this site way more often...now that i've talked about the books i wanna reread them! guess i got some work to do.. [[sorry for rambling!!]]
~ANdREA
oh yeah && i don't think it'll be worth the money even if Robert Pattinson is hot
The movie's awesome! xD
I watched it with my friend, and another time with my sister.^-^
My sister never read the book, and got interested in reading New moon, after watching twilight.
I think Twilight was pretty short, but hey, fans never want it to end right?
