Bud has been different since the day he was born. He couldn't fly, liked milk in his bottle rather than blood, hated goth and heavy metal, and ate salads for dinner. He then gets sent to Dracule's School of Vampirism and didn't fit in with the other vampire kids and they tell him to scram. He didn't feel like he belonged anywhere. But one morning there was a scratching sound outside and all of the vampires were scared, except for Bud. He was the only one who didn't mind being out in the sun so he went out to brave the daylight and figure out what was causing that strange noise. Will the other kids finally accept him? Will he be the hero or always be ridiculed for being different?Wow! Another spooktacular book by Julia Dweck! My daughter and I absolutely adored this story. We really loved the fact that even though Bud is different, he's still special in his own ways. It shows kids that you don't have to be exactly the same as everyone else. The best YOU that YOU can be is YOURSELF! The rhyming text, as always, is amazing as are the illustrations. Here's an example of one of my favorite parts:"They packed Bud's bags to get him ready.Bud hugged his mother and his deady."Oh man, it's genius! I don't know about you but it sure made me cackle a bit! I would definitely recommend this book to kids of all ages. It's a really fun read.
