Dear Vampa

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Tegen | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-135534-9 $16.99
(3) K-3 Young bloodsucker Bram Pire writes a letter to his "vampa" lamenting the new neighbors, with their "bizarre fondness for sunshine." While reminiscent of The Addams Family et al., the book stands apart with its final twist (the neighbors have a secret). In the droll illustrations, only the Pires and their home are rendered in black and white.
