Fang isn’t like the other vampires. Will he be able to make his dreams of a beach vacation come true?

The last thing Fang wants is another vacation in Transylvania. He’s toured Dracula’s castle and the coffin museum enough for an eternal lifetime. Why can’t he spend the summer swimming and surfing like his other friends? When his parents refuse, Fang decides to convince them that fun at the beach is possible, even for a family of vampires.

Laura Lavoie’s clever text and Micah Player’s devilishly fun illustrations are the perfect pairing for this hilarious picture book that captures the joy of having new adventures and staying true to yourself.

VAMPIRE VACATION is a cute story about the fun of vacation, trying new things, and persuasion. Fang has always dreamed of going to the beach for vacation. However, his parents say that vampires should always vacation in Transylvania. Fang isn't ready to give in, and he comes up with some ideas to convince them about a beach vacation, and after much trying, he finally succeeds. The whole family enjoys the new vacation spot!

What I loved: This is a really cute and sweet book about persuasion and trying new things. Loads of vampire puns and references add to the giggles. Illustrations are full of color and details that capture the story well with plenty of fun. Fang is a really cute character that manages to be relatable to children who may not always agree with their vacation spots. With some effort and new ideas, Fang manages to change the family's plans. The cute themes celebrate family, trying new things, and coming up with plans to persuade others.

Final verdict: A cute picture book about family and trying new things, VAMPIRE VACATION combines clever vampire puns with a sweet story that is sure to delight young readers.
