AJ really likes a girl named Nia Winters, but
he feels like he is too boring for a cool girl like Nia. AJ can tell that Nia is interested in
vampires, so to make himself more interesting to Nia, he starts to alter his
appearance in an attempt to look more like a vampire. When AJ and Nia get paired together for a
project, they both realize they have a lot in common and become friends. What AJ doesn’t know is that Nia is a vampire
slayer and she has been noticing his changes, so in a funny twist AJ has to convince
Nia to like him for himself.
This
graphic novel was a fun quick read which was totally enjoyable. The humor added
to the creative story about being true to ourselves and not changing for other
people. The illustrations are bright and
attractive and the cover will grab reader’s attention.
