review 1: Stephanie has been homeschooled her whole life, but when her family moves and her mom takes a job, she is forced to attend public school for the first time. Simultaneously she begins to notice other changes. She can only eat red foods and she can only sleep UNDER the bed to name a few. Stephanie, who suddenly prefers to be called Svetlana believes she is turning into a vampire. When her new science teacher seems to share similar traits, Svetlana believes she has found a kindred spirit, however, after someone tries to poison her and then run her down with a van, she wonders if her science teacher is her ally or her enemy.
review 2: Stephanie has changed in the weeks since she and her family moved to California from Texas. She can't sleep in her bed, but slee
... moreps very well under it. She no longer cares for her old favorite foods, but loves red foods of all types. She is becoming very sensitive to odors, and suddenly looks fantastic in black. Strangest of all, she is beginning to sense the thoughts of others. "Svetlana," as she now wants to be called, thinks she is turning into a vampire. When Svetlana meets her new science teacher, Ms. Larch, she thinks she has found a kindred soul, another vampire. But through some surprising new friendships and her own senses and courage she discovers her true nature and prepares herself to engage her immortal enemy in a battle for the lives of her classmates and mankind.I've been disturbed for some time with the obsession with vampire stories on the part of both readers and publishers. Far too many youngsters are reading books they aren't emotionally mature enough for because there is a glut of supernatural books at the YA and adult levels but few for younger readers. Here's a vampire book for those youngsters who aren't ready for the all the gore and violence, but they want to be! Yes, there is death and killing of the undead in the story, but they are age-appropriately handled. Young readers who watch network television will not be "grossed out" or traumatized by anything in this light-hearted supernatural tale. Recommended for readers in grades 4-7. less
