I WANT TO KNOW WHO THE VAMP IS. This was a delightful MG novel in what I’m assuming is going to be a series.

Malika "Boog" Wilson and her friends have grown up idolizing The Vanquishers, a group of vampire hunters who wiped out the last horde of the undead decades ago. In current times most people don't take any vampire precautions (garlic, early curfew, Vampire repellant) but Boog's parents haven't forgotten much to the embarrassment of Boog. But when a friend from school goes missing Boog isn't sure what to think. Boog and her friends are determined to save their classmates but are they ready to admit vampires are not as vanquished as they thought?
A well done friendship based vampire book for middle grade kiddos. Give to fans of friendship, family, vampires and a little mystery.

Bayron delves into middle grade with her new, fun vampire series. Boog and her two best friends are happily making their way through middle school. Sure, their parents still act like there's a vampire around every corner, but everyone knows the Vanquishers got rid of them 20 years ago. But when their new friend Aaron goes missing, things start to get weird. Could vampires actually be back?
I think for the target audience, this would be a hit. For me, it was just fine. If your kid likes just a little bit of scary, this is the perfect read for them.

Very cute! For fans of Ghost Squad, or the YA Babysitter’s Coven or Scout’s Honor. Everyone knows all the vampires were defeated by the titular Vanquishers, don’t they?
