Colin is a vampire who has just purchased a new castle. Every vampire dreams of having their own castle. But wait - what is that Duck doing? In Colin's castle? Well - it appears that Duck is pretty sure this is THEIR castle. So no matter how well Colin thinks he has gotten rid of Duck, Duck reappears! In the kitchen, when Colin is in the bathroom... Duck is everywhere. And soon, Duck isn't alone! What can Colin do?
Well, we don't really know what Colin does because this book is a bit open ended. I did a bit of digging and discovered that the author is British and this book definitely employs British humor. Also - it's a Colin and Duck book which means -- there is going to be another story about Colin and Duck! And in the second book, it looks like they've agreed to get along. But Colin's grandmother is coming for a visit?
Either way - this is a good reminder that ducks can be persistent! And that British humor is quite lovely. I think kids will "get it" and find it funny.

I think I thought this was going to be funnier than it really was, so it was a little bit disappointing. But there are some moments of humor as Colin moves into his castle, but a duck also decides that he lives at the castle.
