Book Notes

Vegetarian vampires living in New York City? You bet. Lexy, Hudson, and Maddie live in Manhattan with their parents. They are not your average school kids either. They are fruit-bat vampires, or they used to be in the Old World. As if being a kid isn’t hard enough, you should try being a kid who’s a vampire!

Hudson is trying to save the planet. Lexy is trying to get Dylan to notice her, and Maddie is convinced that the people across the street are blood-sucking vampires in disguise and must be stopped. And she will stop at nothing to prove it! All this while trying to look and act like a normal human being.

It’s funny and vampire-y and a perfect fall read. Hurry and check it out before Halloween–it may give you a few ideas.

I’ve been re-reading this book, and loving every minute of it. I’ve lost track of how many times I have read this over the years, but I never cease to be amazed at how fabulous it is. It’s a very timely reading too. Ms. L’Engle passed away while I was in the middle of reading her wonderful book.

Meg and Charles Wallace and Calvin. With the coming of Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. What, the three children are whisked off on an adventure through time and space to rescue Meg and Charles’ father. If you are a fantasy or Science fiction lover, give this one a try. It’s well worth it.
