Young vampire Asiago is excited for a trip to the beach, but he's sadly misinformed about what that might entail. Several mishaps (sunburn, a splinter, garlicky baked clams) lead Asiago to reluctantly conclude that a beach day is a bad idea for him; then his pals plan a nighttime visit. Plenty of vampire-centric gags in the text and cartoony colored-pencil illustrations bolster the slight story.
