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 |

Jess
o0o0o0o0o cool you do school musicals Jess?
Luv AVL,
Yeah, i did the school Drama (for the first time) this year so i was like...what the hey, why not?
..it was painful and yet thrilling...then i got home, practically collasped, and had to finish homework XP
Jess
lol, my mom used to do school plays when she was in school, i would if i went to school X_x
Luv AVL
Oh, right....u shoudl try performing in some theater near you (i soudn liek a commercial)...is there soem reason u are hoime schooled, no offense, i'm just curious.
Jess
Yes, but mostly me XD
I kid I kid... anyway... I can't type right now. OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH CHRISTMAS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm not entering, sorry. Just... don't want to really and haven't heard much about it other than 'write this much' from other minions.
And... if you want to know why I'M homeschooled Jess, (because you know you wanna know), it's because all the publics schools in the general vicinity are impossible, money stealing snobs, or bad education, or too far, or burnt down.
So my mom decided 'Hey, why not just do it myself?' and she got one whole kid through highschool.
Wooowwwww... you still reading this?
they took drama away from our school!! i was so upset!! :(= haha i can't wait for Christmas either!! my sister goes to all sorts of concerts, and she's seen linkin park.
I new 2 the whole Chronicals of Vladimir Tod thing, I just read the 1st one, and now I'm tottaly obsessed, Vlad rulz!!! I'm trying to get a hold of the next one though!
and I don't know why I'm anonymous. :(=
hello auntie heather! Woohoo! I got it! I'm no longer anonymous!!!!
I was homeschooled through my last year of middle school. The school was just completely awful and corrupt and there were a whole lot of problems that I won't go into 'cause it'd take forever, lol. But yeah. That's my little two cents.
Welcome to the hoard.
well i just wanted to say that it being your first book i like it. i've never sat down and read a book that i enjoyed without feeling i was held down by my own will. even at 21 i dont like books all to much but i am looking foward to picking up the second book and cant wait for the 3rd so please keep writing i love the books, hail to vlad from florida
malckom
Maybe you should take some medicine :) I was thinking about writing a story about Santa who really is a thousand year old vampire theif, that runs a drug cartel. :)
Thnx for the explainations. The schools here are okay but my mom wants me being 'social' and gettign out of the house....
Happy Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanza/Winter Solstice/New year people!
Did i miss a holiday?
Jess
No jess i i dont think you missed a holiday :)= i'm home shooled cuz my mom doesnt like the schools here, and she wants to keep me safe and make sure i'm 'prepared' and stuff, and she also thinks that nows the most important time for me to get my morols, persanly i think she was a lil under estimating me -i know my morols- and stuff. but i wanna stay home shooled and i am also doing it threw high school, if i stay home schooled threw high skool i will be out by the time im 17 and if i buckle down maybe 16, then i am going to do collage exams for extra credit, then i am applying for Annapolis. then when i get out i am going back to skool and becoming a vet.
luv AVL, i dont really think you wanted to know that much

Luv AVL
santa claus was a real person -im not crazy-, saint nicholas, like hundreds of years ago in germany, but they over did him when he died, and they made him a magical for the storys and stuff, altho he did exist, he just wasnt like the storys and movies.
Luv AVL
I know, but modern Santa was originally on Coca-Cola adds. No lie. Unless I'm misinformed, then it's unintentional.
You do < i > to start it without spaces between, and < / i > to end it.

luv AVL
