Book Description
Sean is a sixteen-year-old vampire who just wants to finish high school. Blending in isn’t easy: two vampires in his group can’t stand him, he’s barely passing math, and Becky, the pretty cheerleader, smells a little too good to him. With the help of Hannah, the group leader and his best friend, he manages to fly under the radar and keep out of trouble. But when the junior class president is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the truce among Sean and his fellow vampires falls apart. As each person reveals a secret that could threaten their lives, Sean tries to control his hunger. Will he be able to turn over a new leaf, or will the temptation for Becky’s blood be too strong to overcome?

Book Description
A funny, in-your-face novel starring an unlikely teenage pair - a sheltered cinemaphile with cerebral palsy and the tattooed, straight-talking stoner who steals his heart. For sixteen-year-old Ben Bancroft - a kid with cerebral palsy, no parents, and an overprotective grandmother - the closest thing to happiness is hunkering alone in the back of the Rialto Theatre watching Bride of Frankenstein for the umpteenth time. Of course he waits for the lights to dim before making an entrance, so that his own lurching down the aisle doesn’t look like an ad for Monster Week. The last person he wants to run into is drugged-up Colleen Minou, resplendent in ripped tights, neon miniskirt, and an impressive array of tattoos. But when Colleen climbs into the seat beside him and rests a woozy head on his shoulder, Ben has that unmistakable feeling that his life is about to change. With unsparing humor and a keen flair for dialogue, Ron Koertge captures the rare repartee between two lonely teenagers on opposite sides of the social divide. It’s the tale of a self-deprecating protagonist who learns that kindred spirits can be found for the looking - and that the incentive to follow your passion can be set into motion by something as simple as a human touch.
