Illustrated throughout by Katie Kear and perfect for readers of 8 to 12. Come on a fang-tastic adventure! I'm Alex Abbott.

I was a completely ordinary kid until I accidentally got turned into a vampire. I have cool powers, but they’re seriously not worth it, because I have to:1. Keep the powers secret, even from my best friends (nightmare)2.

Still go to school every day (thanks, Mum and Dad)3. Never eat chips or ice-cream ever again (the WORST)Actually, that’s not the worst. Trying to find a cure, I blundered into the supernatural world, broke an ancient pact and extinguished 32 tiny fire sprites (my bad).

Now I’m on an epic quest to right those wrongs and make a deal with an ancient Sicilian fire demon to get my life back. What could possibly go wrong ...?
