It's not easy being the only unofficial vampire at Newport News High-especially when your sister starts dating the local jock (and first-class jerk) Tony Peterson. Convinced that Tony is up to something, Jacob and his best friend Henry hatch a plan. Jake's investigative journalism doesn't break up Lizzy's romance, but it does lead him to some unexpected twists. Teaming up with co-newsie Trish Cohen, Jake and Henry take on a suspicious case of bike thefts-in between trips to the hospital for more tests (and more needles). Will Jake be able to thwart an increasingly prying medical community to keep the blood supply flowing? Will Peterson and his posse clean Jake's clock? More importantly, will Jake ever get a date to Homecoming?
