Our Teacher Is a Vampire and Other (Not) True Stories

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ethan Long. When Alexander shares a secret notebook with his classmates that claims their teacher is a vampire, the notebook becomes a crowd-sourced chronicle of everyone's curiosity and concern, recorded alongside typical elementary-school kerfuffles. The silly premise turns heartfelt when the class learns the truth behind their teacher's behavior. Though the frequent shifts in perspective can be dizzying, the narrative voices are impressively distinct.
