One book that I read during this past summer is The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd: Eight Grade
Bites, by Heather Brewer, and I had a great time with it. There is a significantly shady mood throughout
the book. Whether a scene was about
Vladimir Todd, the main character, spying on the local goth kids, or about Vlad
uncovering secrets about his vampire father, there is definitely a whole dark
feeling during most of the story. It
probably helps that Vlad himself is a teenage vampire also, in terms of adding
to the gloom of the book. Although the
mood of the novel does not at all take away from the reading experience. The story also revolves around the idea of
being on the run, but the situation is eventually flipped, following the moment
when Vlad decides to face the source of his worries and woes. It is quite hard to discuss this book without
spoiling the plot, but this is definitely worth reading, particularly if you
are in eighth grade or high school, for the series goes on throughout high
school in later books.
