Publisher's Synopsis
Your purple hair is glowing, a crow just winked at you, and your pizza cravings now include marshmallows.
Congratulations-you're a vampire!
Charlie thought he was a regular adopted kid with a penchant for weird food and a new streak of purple hair. But when a girl in a cape shows up and hands him a book called Vampire 101, everything changes.
Turns out he's a penumbral-a baby vampire-and his guide Veda is here to help him survive the transition without accidentally turning into a puff of smoke or getting wiped out by cherries (which are, yes, deadly). As Charlie learns the vampire ropes-from supernatural gifts and shapeshifting to secret parties and emotional overload-he also uncovers what it means to belong.
Packed with laugh-out-loud moments, supernatural mischief, and heartwarming friendship, Surprise! You're a Vampire is the perfect spooky-sweet adventure for fans of Nevermoor, The School for Good and Evil, and kids who dream of having a little more fang in their lives.
