This Totally Bites by Ruth Ames - ADVISABLE


Ames, Ruth This Totally Bites, 208 p. Poison Apple (Scholastic), MAY 2010. Content: G. 

EL, MS – ADVISABLE 

12 yo Emma-Rose Paley has a deep love for everything dark and gothic – something her pastel mother totally doesn’t understand. When her great-aunt Margo arrives from Transylvania, Emma thinks that she has discovered the reason she is so different – she just might be a vampire! She sure hopes so. Her best friend, Gabby thinks that she is crazy and this causes a rift between the girls. Uber-cute Henry Greene, however, thinks that she just may have something. 

This is one of the first books out in a new Scholastic imprint – Poison Apple – very cool , very hip, very young. The books that I have read are right on quality with Betty Ren Wright and Mary Downing Hahn. If these authors are popular in your school, feel confident in adding these.
