LeUyen Pham.
In their third book, the ballet-loving vampire girl and her family attend a "Moon Monster Madness" beach party. Vampirina and her fellow fiends welcome an apprehensive human boy and his parents--whose true (lycanthropic) nature is soon revealed--and the festivities culminate in a dynamic four-page-gatefold dance contest. Pace's text plays it straight as characterization and abundant humor shine in Pham's expressive watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations.
