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 |

OR OR
Camp out in a mall and shoot anyone stupid enough to think that leaving is a good idea.
Or Walmart.
Hmmm...lots of malls have Dick's Sporting goods!
RJ, you're idea is pretty good. But what if you go to Walmart or the Mall and it was some kind of zombie Haven?
Apocalypse? Oh dear, some people talk about that at school that it will happen in the year 2012. Although, I think the only "apocalypse" about it is that by that time all the crazy/idiot/jerky people at my school, are gonna be crazy/idiot/jerky adults and running amuck with no school to hold them back. >_> Although, this zombie thing reminds me of that movie that's made from a game...Resident Evil or something? Maybe we could all watch that and gain a few pointers. ;) Same for I Am Legend and maybe The Happening (just in case it's airborne).
RJ, totally up for the walmart idea. That store has like...everything. Dick's Sporting Goods is a wonderful idea too, lots of decapitation methods x]
Why is everyoen talkign about that today...so strange, 12/12/21 is said to be apocalyspe, but, as quoted, means there is goign to be a new beginning..
Why am i talkign abotu this?
Yeah, with zombies around i am lockign myself in here. i have a computer...sharp objects...idk, a calculater...
Jess
I'm in ur malls, infectin' ur friends! >:D
lol, but seriously now...
I'd go for Dick's Sporting Goods myself. If not for the many available possible weapons, then for the fact that they have air hockey. I love air hockey :D Not much food though... hm.
Also, the apocalypse being in 2012 would kinda suck, since that's the year I graduate high school =/
AAAH!!! Zombie!!! (heh)
Dude, Air Hockey RULES! Plus, they have freeze-dried food stuffs....
...i need to go to a local mall and try adn find that place! i can't recall if we have one here (and if not i guess i'll go...idk somewwhere else)
That'll be my first year of collage, but then again i don't really believe the apocalspe...or can spell it right
Jess
Yeah, neither do I......but I do believe in zombies *shifty eyes*
Hmm i heard an apocalypse would be in 2012 o-o;;
Thats like 3 years! D:
I would be like..o-o 15-17? Oh dang, i wouldnt even be able to graduate from high school O_O;
Nooooo D:
Everyone, run wild while you can! D<
Hey people who are for staying at sporting stores. It is me Ben, a random guy sporting his knowledge of Zombies. During a zombie outbreak teamwork is VITAL. If you are alone the only way to get away from the zombie horde is to run. In numbers you can hold of large invasions and when zombies are inactive in the A.M hours you have more people to search for supplies such as munitions, food and fortification materials. Also malls have many entrances so even though you can get out, zombies can get in. The ideal fortification is a second story of a building with one door by narrow steps and a window. You can defend the door easily, and if your position is overrun, two stories is a relatively easy jumping distance. And Heather! Teamwork is important. Finding a survivor increases your chance of survival. And depending on when you use fire, it may have it's uses. If a zombie is missing an eye, a short burst of flamethrower to the head should effectively destroy the brain stem, the control center of the zombie.
my fav part of the zombie emergency thing is the second one.
"someone WILL get killed, turn into a zombie and the next person to see them will go "Oh, it's my friend, I'll just turn my back and OH GOD WHY IS HE EATING MY BRAIN?!" that's hilarious.
Haha i agree :3
Omg, look, i only have 49% chance of surviving the zombie apocalypes D:!
Lucky, i got between a 42-45
adn on a survival test i had to take for class i got 'You have a slim chance...if you want to go hiking, go with a friend'...
I'm going to have to have like paddign and a GPS with me all teh time -_-
Jess
LMFAO XD
Dw, i'd probably fail it even worse xD;
i would hide in sams club i think they have everything i need. It would suck if the zombies could run and i would feal bad for beyonce zombies aren't like they youst to be they would be in cemitaries and moan, and not scream, they would run, they only ate brain and thats the only word they knew “BRAINS” now days they run and jump you but only eat like a little piece of you like two bites and you would turn. they wouldn`t be deformed or be monsters. in 2012 i would be like the matrix when they had all those guns in the bank from SAMS CLUB lol

wow..... the year i'll be 15....... and my brothers will be outta the navy!!!!!! Oh. My. Goth. Auntie Heather..... my mom has swords stashed all over the house.... she has them stragically placed.... she says that if someone gets in the house she wants to be prepared to slice open their guts if they try an hurt us...... and let me say something there is nothing scarier then my mother hashing around a large sword...... "I'm NOT EATING THIS CHICK'S BRAIN!" -Zombie
luv AVL...... yeah the swords used to belong to my one brother but when he left she kinda stole em.... LoL
Grrrrrr my mom needs to unblock the site so i can take the quiz thingy.....
luv AVL
Yes, but you could block the door. My point was that a large store that's fully stocked with everything you need would probably be one of the best places.
Hm, aren't people just really freaked about the apocalypse being in '12 because the Mayan calender ends that year? What if the Mayan people just got bored of documenting the future of the world and stopped then? HMMM???
I believe in some kind of spectacular end to the world. The one I'm counting on is the one with all the monsters and such from Revelation, buuuuutttt.... we'll not get into that, 'kay?
Yeah, sticking with other survivors could turn out to be either fatal or save your life, depending on the other survivor's nature.
Hey, do zombie apocalypses ever end? Or do people just keep running and shooting 'til they are all killed? I've never seen a zombie movie so I wouldn't know... Which one's are good?
28 Days Later is one of the best. Night of the Living Dead - the original black and white, of course. Man, there are so many. How could you have never seen a zombie flick?! That's just crazy, RJ. ;)
Minions, Auntie Heather is very pleased to know you all have plans for the coming zombie apocalypse. PLEASE REMEMBER that Zombie is a Minion and should not be "taken care of". :)
I have a 61% chance of survival, by the way. Good thing I live outside of the community.
Hey! I kind of wanted to see 28 Days Later, my current favorite actor is in it, you see. But apparently it has the F word in it A LOT.
I'm not a horror movie watcher, I've seen like... the second half of House On Haunted Hill... and that's all that would actually constitute for a horror movie.
Ah. See, my son Jacob doesn't believe in swearing. But he'll still watch movies with swearing in them. I totally respect that. You gotta do your own thing, follow your own morals.
Which one? The original or remake? The original was best, imho. Vincent Price!!
...swearing in my school is...well, lets say it so common it becomes a habit that i am trying to break...it works great over the summer and during long long breaks...
Anywayz, i get freaked out to easy to watch a complete horror movie thing...although i wouldn't mind seeing them ;)
Jess
LOL. I loved thta quiz. I did it a few months ago. I love the guide above it. Priceless.
Happy new year, Heather! I cannot wait to see Vlad on film. :-) It'll happen. I feel it. ;-)
I'll be back more regularly after the wedding and honeymoon in March. :-)
Aw darn, I meant the remake!
I'll watch swearing, but my parents won't stand for it.
I have a 69% chance of surviving the zombie outbreak
Niceee XD!
Zombies ehh? well that could be a problem and it could help us. Think of all the people that would lose weight just trying to outrun the zombies! But i would hide at Gander Mountain they have a large supply of guns,ammo, and plenty of beef jerky :)=
Gander Mountain? Is that a store near you?...
lol, yes, many people would loose a lot of weight
Jess
And the remaining dietitians will rejoice.
zombies are cool but not as good as vampires no but I love the song Astro Zombies by My chemical Romance its so good they are the best and if zombies do attack can't all minions gather and be protected by the one thing better than a brain eating zombie a blood sucking vladimir todd.
cause you know.... We all live in totally different parts of the country (and some people the world :O), so... I'll just have my vampire do it MUAHAAHAHAHAH
i have a 9% chance of survival
i feel so special
That IS special!
That's aweosme.
I told my friend to take this and she got a 50....she always get higher in everything though lol
Jess
Just look at it this way one have a good 81% chance of meeting a zombie in person! :)=
35% chance...this sucks. i'm gonna die in such an occasion.
