About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the tricky social waters of middle school, particularly if they feel like an outsider or are struggling with the pressure to fit in versus staying true to their unique self. It is a lighthearted yet resonant story about Lexie, a vampire trying to win a school election without losing her integrity to the meddling of two chaotic pixie houseguests. The book explores themes of self-confidence, the ethics of social competition, and the burden of responsibility. While the premise is supernatural, the emotional core is deeply grounded in the real-world anxieties of ninth grade. It is an excellent choice for 9 to 12 year olds who enjoy humor and urban fantasy but need a story that validates the difficulty of standing up for one's values when popularity is on the line.
