Unhappy about moving from California to New Sodom, Massachusetts, Cody is failing every subject in high school. His father decides he needs more academic rigor, but Vlad Dracul Magnet School isn't what either of them expects. Most of the students are vampires, but the dangers Cody faces are the same as those for any kid. A light, engaging parable with a reader-pleasing happy ending.
