One major thing sets him apart, though: Frankie is a vampire. But he's not your typical vampire, either ... Sure, he's nocturnal by nature, has fangs, superhuman abilities and is immortal. But Frankie's family has decided to leave their vampire life in Transylvania behind. They've gone vegan, and moved to a mid-sized American city for a fresh start. Where Frankie is from, the school day began at midnight and ended at dawn. Now in America, Frankie and his family must adjust their sleep schedule, train to be out in the sun and eat a zero-blood diet. Not only that, he has to navigate school as the new kid and keep his vampire identity secret from other humans. Frankie D, Vegan Vampire is full of deadpan humour, irony and playful twists on the vampire trope, making it a super fun and entertaining read -- but important themes of friendship, family, kindness, dealing with bullies and adapting to life in a new country and culture add depth and heart to the story. The characters are relatable, and readers will identify with the challenges Frankie faces as he navigates the often confusing complications of fourth grade and being a newcomer, taking things one bite at a time.'"--
