Scream Street: Fang of the Vampire [With 2 Collectors' Cards and Bookmark]

Scream street starts with a young boy, Luke, scaring a normal boy, because he upset Luke by being bully. Luke loses his temper and goes all werewolf on this boy. Luke's family is sent to Scream Street for the safety of other normals. And herein lies the message of this tale. Luke loves Scream Street, to be around others like himself, but his Parents hate it, they are terrified of the Vampires, Ghouls, & Ghosties and all other abnormal species. This makes Luke feel terrible and tries to find a way to send his parents back to their normal reality, and so starts the quest to find 'Skipstones Tales Of Scream Street' and the Quest for the 6 things needed from the 6 founding fathers, so he can open the door to send his parents back. Lukes little Vampire friend, who is actually a throwback and is normal, while his parents are real vampires, is really rather nice and helps luke with his little adventure and their other friend Cleo the mummy is hillarious, plus a few others that are either nice and helpful or just downright funny. My daughter who is 12 laughed so hard in places I just knew one of them was the farting goblins and of course Doug the Zombie, who says things like 'Dude' especially when he grabs Luke's leg and thinks its his own....a surfer type 'Dude' Zombie. I don't think the age group is just for the 7-9's I feel this could help the older kids that find it hard reading, this is entertaining enough and fast paced enough to hold their interests for longer. I loved it, but then I wasn't judging this from a grown ups book perspective, and my 12 year old thought it was good fun & a quickie read, and is looking forward to the next installment. And for the price we both say a fantastic scream of a bargain it is.
