YAMonster High series.
The supernatural gang at Merston High has some new challenges, such as vampire Lala's attempts to win a sponsorship contest for the school. There's the usual, often grating, cutesy wordplay and of-the-moment celebrity references (e.g., Frankie's "approval rating was in the Obama-got-Osama range"), but this fourth series entry wraps up the school year in a satisfying, and apparently series-ending, conclusion.
