INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Gardner, Whitney

Fake Blood

(2) 4-6 Attempting to impress his vampire-obsessed crush Nia, sixth grader AJ adopts a new vampire-inspired persona. AJ's act works all too well, and after a close call with one of vampire-hunter Nia's wooden stakes, he admits to his attention-seeking. The pair soon realizes that their peculiar teacher is the real vampire. Gardner's digitally rendered, full-color cartooning is cogent and consistent, and a variety of panel configurations keeps this enjoyable romp flowing.
