★“With a healthy dose of Dahl-ian elements and sprinkling of ‘Harry Potter,’ this chapter book will delight readers who are not quite ready for the bulk of ‘Potter’ or the macabre sensibility of Dahl. . . An early chapter book with many winning elements proven to draw in young readers: indelibly quirky characters, a unique lexicon, magical tomfoolery, and misfits finding the best company is with one another.”―School Library Journal, Starred Review

“A vampire and a human forge a friendship while bringing joy to a gloomy village. . . A light paranormal adventure with themes of friendship and respect.”―Kirkus reviews

“A kindhearted young vampire and his family find themselves stranded in a human town in Brown’s silly and slightly creepy chapter book. . . Angular b&w artwork tumbles across nearly every page, injecting snappy momentum into the humorous antics, which touch on themes of prejudice, greed, and loneliness. . . [A] zippy, bumpy ride.”―Publishers Weekly
