About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the complexities of social cliques, or when they are struggling with the tendency to judge others based on rumors and first impressions. In this reimagined classic, a quiet town is thrown into a panic when mysterious newcomers arrive, sparking fears of a vampire invasion. It is a perfect choice for children who are beginning to experience the 'us vs. them' mentality in school hallways or neighborhoods. While the story leans into spooky tropes, its core is about curiosity and empathy. Your child will follow a group of friends who choose to investigate the truth rather than succumbing to groupthink. At 112 pages in a graphic novel format, it is highly accessible for reluctant readers aged 8 to 12. It offers a safe, metaphorical space to discuss how fear can cloud our judgment and how kindness can bridge the gap between different groups.
