Vampire (Johnson)

Marcus was convinced that vampires didn’t exist. He was very wrong... On his thirteenth birthday, Marcus Howlett is faced with a bombshell. His parents are half-vampire. And, although he hates the thought of it, he is about to become one too. But, as he secretly blogs about the horrors of his new fangs, bad breath and cravings for blood, Marcus is unaware that his life is in serious danger...

On my 13th birthday, my life changed for ever. That’s when I learned the shocking truth: I’m a half-vampire.Think that sounds cool? Think again! I’ve been attacked by an evil vampire bat, had huge cravings for my best friend’s blood, and nearly died from eating a pizza (half-vampires aren’t great with garlic). Writing my secret blog is the only thing that’s kept me from going completely crazy. As if life couldn’t get any more complicated, there have been some vicious attacks in the local woods. Vampire-mad Tallulah (definitely not my girlfriend) thinks a super-vampire is behind them....

Life has never been more complicated for 13-year-old Marcus. It's not easy trying to hide your secret identity as a half-vampire, avoid garlic, and work up the courage to ask out vampire-crazy Tallulah. Plus, Marcus's parents are still convinced his special power is going to arrive any day now, and Marcus is totally feeling the pressure. As if that wasn't bad enough, a seriously creepy Winter Fair has arrived in town - and a number of terrifying attacks have started happening. All Marcus wants is an easy life. But now it's up to him to save the day.
