The Little Vampire

An unlikely friendship forms between a young boy and vampire in this sweet and funny first book in the classic middle grade Little Vampire series--newly translated from the original German and perfect for readers who love Hotel Transylvania and The Addams Family!

Nine-year-old Tony loves ghosts and horror stories, but when he's left home alone one night, he gets quite the fright as Rudolph the little vampire flies in the window! After a rough start, Rudolph stops trying to bite Tony and the two become fast friends. Tony even visits the little vampire's family vault in the graveyard where he narrowly escapes the clutches of Rudolph's fearsome Great-Aunt Dorothy.

But what will happen when Tony's parents invite his new friend for dinner?
