Vlad is the youngest member of the Impaler family, the bravest vampires that ever lived. But Vlad isn't very brave at all. He's even a little bit scared of the dark! Vlad's parents are off to Transylvania and they're leaving Vlad at Misery Manor under the watchful (short-sighted) eye of Grandpa Gory.

Vlad is delighted - he'll be able to sneak off to human school much more easily now! But there's a catch - Vlad's parents have set him a whole list of vampire challenges to complete before their return - if he can't impress them, there'll be trouble! A gentle and funny story of a little vampire who wishes he was human - this is DIARY OF A WIMPY KID meets Hotel Transylvania.
