Publisher's Synopsis
Part of the Grandma Series, this story has the right mix of mystery, adventure, and hilarious funniness to keep 9 to 12-year-old children glued until the end. Perfect for fans of David Walliams and Roald Dahl.
Dracula has captured Lilly Lawson, Granny Bonkers's niece, in his castle near the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. Granny feels compelled to save Lilly and so she and her grandson, Billy, set off to Dracula's castle. But Dracula is not human. He's a vampire with supernatural powers like having the strength of twenty men, moving through cracks and other tiny openings, and changing himself into an animal like a bat, or wolf. However, after a bit of research, Granny finds out that there are also things that Dracula cannot stand and which incapacitate him. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Granny and Billy try these things in confronting Dracula, they fail epically in saving Lilly time and again. Dracula is just too powerful. What is the trick to capture Dracula? And even if they know how to do this, will they be successful and save Lilly in the process? Or is poor Lilly doomed to be sucked dry by Dracula and become a vampire herself?
