In the first of the series, readers will discover a plot that is somewhat reminiscent of Harry Potter. Vlad Tod is a typical eighth-grade student - with the exception that he is a vampire! His parents were killed in a mysterious fire three years earlier. Now Vlad, utterly alone in the world, must go live with his mother's best friend, Nelly. Nelly works as a nurse which enables her to bring home expired blood bags for Vlad to feast on - so he doesn't have to feed on humans. When Vlad's homeroom teacher is discovered missing, it sets off a chain of events that put Vlad on a quest to discover what really happened to his parents. In doing so, Vlad discovers that whoever murdered his parents, is now after him as well.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165561769213515667.post-27453409226171759802011-04-19T06:33:00.000-07:002011-04-19T06:52:10.189-07:00Tricks by Ellen Hopkins<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wjHEs66xw2M/Ta2ThIH47aI/AAAAAAAAAC8/dsR-11ETAic/s1600/tricks.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wjHEs66xw2M/Ta2ThIH47aI/AAAAAAAAAC8/dsR-11ETAic/s200/tricks.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597292109216935330" /></a><br />Hopkins features the raw voices of five teens as their elusive search for love leads them down the dark alley of teen prostitution.
