I picked up this book because it is missing an apostrophe in the title. I wondered if the name of the town was Ravens Pass because ravens pass by it, but there is no mention of that. An apostrophe is properly used in the second sentence of the book, so I never did figure out the mystery of the missing apostrophe. In this book, Collin and his family move to a new town, Ravens Pass, and his classmates tell him there are vampires and other monsters in the town. He looks for clues to find out if there are indeed vampires with a friend from his new school and what he finds surprises him. The book is on a 2nd to 3rd grade reading level, and children who are older, but read at a lower level may enjoy this book and others in the series.

When Collin and his family move to Ravens Pass, there are all sorts of rumors about vampires. His new friend, Simon, decides that they should solve the mystery since there couldn't be possibly be vampires. In between doing their respective family chores, the two find it hard to find time to do much sleuthing, but eventually it's clear that the town isn't big enough for two vampire families. Readers will enjoy going back and finding the clues that lead to this bloody conclusion.

The last page saved this story from utter cheesiness.
