The Jungle Vampire (An Awfully Beastly Business)
Grade 3–6—The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Beasts (RSPCB) agents, including werewolf Ulf, are sent to the deep jungles of South America to follow the trail of the legendary jungle vampire in this installment (Aladdin, 2009) in the series by David Siden, Matthew Morgan, and Guy Macdonald. The pressure builds as the team (which includes a werewolf, a giant, a fairy, and others) discovers that the Baron Marackai is hot on the vampire's trail, too. Gerard Doyle's vocal talents and character depiction enhance the tale, helping to maintain the intensity and mystery of the story throughout. A good choice for fantasy fans and youngsters with short attention spans.—Amy Olson, formerly Lexington Public Library, KY(c) Copyright 2010.
