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 |
But now all is well. My critique partner and fabulous agent are on the case and, for now, I can relax a little.

Hey Auntie Heather. =D
Awesome, you finally posted. Nice picture by the way.
So your finished writing 11 Grade burns? What grade is Vlad going to go up to anyway?
Nothing new with this minion, spring break just started So I'm bored out of my life.
Hi Heather! I'm also on my first day of spring break, wooo! On Friday, I went to a concert and I actually followed the directions on your "stress reduction kit". I tripped over a curb on my way in to the concert and landed **on my face**. So, I'm 2 months short of the dreaded 40 and I'm walking around with a black eye and cut up face. Madness! If nothing else, I'm enjoying making up stories that are more exciting than "I'm clumsy and tripped."
YAY! Ur back!!!
I'm doing good. But I need to get my grades up so I can get my cell back and start learning how to drive.
how are you?
YAY!! Auntie Heather is back again. I thought you might have gotten obducted by aliens or something. I'm pretty good. Though my dog is being really annoying right now.
what about you?
luv AVL
Oh, i almost forgot, you know how you wrote your into Renaissance things, are you also into Medieval? and r u a part of SCA?
luv AVL
Was William Shakespeare from the Renaissance times?
&&, is it true he was kinda perverted, or that the Renaissance times were kind of sexual-y?
Or is that just fake?
xD
i'm good. but i love your stress reduction kit. i think i'm going to print it out and use it twice daily. just for the fun of it. =P
I think there are more effective and more safe ways to reduce stress. Just looking out for the human cranium. It is a very important part of the human body.
I'm fangtastic! I was worried because you weren't blogging. I love your stress reduction kit!
Im going to put this on my wall - maybe my kids wall too :0
Hey FReAK13--about Shakespeare, I'm no expert, but I have taken a few classes on him. He was from the late middle ages--more specifically, the Elizabethan Era. We don't know much of anything about him, only what we can tell from his plays and the few documents he was mentioned in (like his marriage doc.)--but his plays were bawdy, so we can only assume that either he was bawdy as well, or that he approved of such behavior. Sorry for the lesson but I'm going to be a teacher when I graduate and I can't help it!
Anonymous - Thanks for answering! &&, yeauh that makes a lot of sense. I just got that impression from some stories I've heard about his plays and yeauh. xD
