I am always on the lookout for new (children's) books about vampires and was delighted to stumble across an easy reader one, finally.
<>"Why the hell can't mum have a crush on anything other than vampires? For example, stars like Madonna. Just like normal mums."
Mathilda is born into a vampire family (her great-great-great-grandfather was a famous vampire, after all) and wishes nothing more than to grow up in an ordinary family, without a car that looks like a coffin and decorative spiderwebs.
The only good thing is her new neighbour, Jake. His family is normal. Well, as normal as one can be with terror twins and a chicken as the family pet.
When Mathilda gets a letter from the secret vampyre society on her twelfth birthday, she is devastated - and somehow Jake seems to be the one to have answers on the whole drinking-blood and sleeping-in-coffins-thing.
"Maybe, yes, maybe I'll have to sleep in a coffin from today. And - bite people. Drink their blood. Yuk!"
Christine Haas manages what often seems like a hardship: crafting a compelling short story with a convincing plot for elementary school readers.
Mathilda and Jake make a good team, and their families provide plenty of humorous moments.
Katharina Vöhringer's illustrations are cute, and I can very well imagine the book as a school reading (eight years and up).
