Status: In Print BINC: 7954491 ISBN: 0060093366 Shelf Location: Young Adult > Young Adult -- Science Fiction/ Fantasy/ Horror Description: In a hip, sexy romance for young teens, Schreiber tells an intriguing story about an unusual first love when a girl meets a particularly toothy new guy in town. Children's Literature Review: To quote the review of the hardcover in KLIATT, July 2003: Schreiber was a stand-up comedienne before becoming a writer; and her talent with humor is apparent in this story. The main character is Raven, who lives in a boring town where she stands out as a "goth," wearing strange make-up and dreaming of becoming a vampire -- or at least meeting one. Much of the narrative reads like a comic monologue, with good timing for jokes. Her parents (once hippies but no longer so), her little brother, her classmates and school life all are topics to comment upon. There is a spooky mansion in town -- fascinating to Raven, of course -- and people come to live in it, including a young man who becomes the love of Raven's life. Raven of course wants him to be a vampire -- there are many hints that perhaps he truly is -- and the ending is perfectly inventive. A large part of the story consists of the wonderful ways that Raven deals with bullies at school who can't leave her alone -- just because she is unusual, perhaps, and also because she is very attractive and smart. Raven is capable of every kind of ingenious revenge, which is highly gratifying to all readers. This lighthearted novel will be fun to read for many YAs. KLIATT Codes: JS -- Recommended for junior and senior high school students. Reviewed by Claire Rosser. Copyright KLIATT Review, September 2005 (Vol. 39, No. 5) About the Author: Ellen Schreiber was an actress and a stand-up comedienne before becoming a writer and moving to her own Dullsville. She is the author of Teenage Mermaid, Comedy Girl, Vampire Kisses, and Vampire Kisses 2: Kissing Coffins. Description: The mansion on top of Benson Hill has been empty and boarded up for years. But a new family has moved in. A family that never ventures out during the day. Who are these creepy people -- especially the handsome, dark, and elusive Alexander Sterling? Or rather, what are they? Could the town gossip actually be true? Are they vampires? Raven, who secretly covets a vampire kiss, both at the risk of her own mortality and Alexander's loving trust, is dying to uncover the truth. See less »
