YA
Sixteen-year-old Lucy's theory--that vampires of folk legend may well have been untreated diabetics--will fascinate vampire aficionados. This idea reinforces her self-image as weird-diabetes-girl and meshes neatly with her transformation from angelic blond to raven-haired cynic. Lucy is a smart, savvy teen in the midst of reinventing herself--and coming to the liberating realization that the possibilities are infinite.
