Maya is excited to go to culinary camp, even if it is her dad's girlfriend's idea. Unfortunately, she takes the wrong bus and ends up at a camp for vampires. Maya has never fit in anywhere and she certainly doesn't feel like being the only human at camp will help.
Even though this is a vampire camp, the issues of friendship and belonging are addressed really well. Maya also struggles with speaking up for herself and telling people what she's really thinking, which is fairly universal. The graphic art is well done and totally adds to the story. The characters are relatable and diverse. I loved it. Break out the blood box drinks! The campers were all a mixed bag of personalities and skin tones.
