Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6-- Meg and Trevor Swain have a new babysitter named Vincent Graver, and they're not happy with him. In fact, they are certain he's a vampire, and do research (yes, yes, at the library, of course) on how to get rid of him. Hodgeman's writing style is excellent, building suspense chapter after chapter, blending it with humor as the two children trail Vincent, doing whatever they can to make him disappear. This is a good read, and kids will love it. Buy several copies for Halloween bookshelves. --Alice Cronin, Ocean County Library System, NJ

This review is from: MY BABYSITTER IS A VAMPIRE (Paperback)

I have read the entire "My Babysitter is a Vampire" series and highly recomend it. The first book is a great begining, introducing you to lovable characters. Vincent is one of the best fictional vampires around. While it does sucumb to many sterotypes about vampires it is very entertaining.

This review is from: MY BABYSITTER IS A VAMPIRE (Paperback)

I am actually Diane's daughter Danielle,but as a younger child Vincent Graves was the first literary vampire I read about. I absolutely loved this series and devoured it all! I wish Ann Hodgman the author would write about Meg as a young adult now and her developing crush on Vincent because I know that even though she was scared by him he fascinated her and who wouldn't want a boyfriend like Vincent!
