Illustrated by
LeUyen Pham.
This Vampirina Ballerina follow-up finds the young vampire planning "the best sleepover ever" for her (human) buddies. Despite its efforts, the family's true nature eventually comes out, resulting in a delightful collision of worlds. This book's humor is a bit more subtle than the first's, coming primarily in the counterpoint between Pace's wryly straight-laced text and Pham's illustrations full of cheerful chaos.
