When Kevin and his family get stuck in a strange town, they accidentally wake up something OLD and VERY HUNGRY. It's up to Kevin to save everyone - or else! The first in a brilliantly funny fantasy adventure series.

Kevin Aurelius is just like any other almost eleven-year-old.

Well, apart from his fangs obviously. And that he's immortal. Oh and did I mention he's a vampire?

Together with his vampire parents and annoying older siblings, Kevin's on his way to Monstros City when, due to dodgy batnav, they get stranded in a strange, quiet place full of humans called Lower Drudging. With empty coffers in need of filling, their only choice is to put on an impromptu carnival to earn the gold they need to get back on their way.

But Lower Drudging has a monstrous secret of its own. A secret that is old, very hungry and has just woken up! It's up to Kevin and his new best friend Susie to save the town - or else!

Kevin the vampire travels with his family in the circus. When they get stuck in a boring town, they decide to put on a show to make enough money to get where they need to be. Unfortunately, there is a mysterious monster hiding in the nearby mountain and all the revelry might just wake it up!
What I Loved: There were so many fun monsters and I loved Kevin. He is just a kid with an unusual family. Susie lives with her mean aunts and she wants something exciting to happen. So when Kevin arrives she finally gets her wish. I think that both boys and girls will relate to the story and at least one of the main characters.
What Left Me Wanting More: I would have liked to have learned even more about the history of the circus and Kevin's family, but other than that, it was a very enjoyable book.
Final Verdict: An entertaining story with plenty to sink your teeth into. The characters are diverse, fun and kids will love them. I would definitely recommend it to young readers who like slightly spooky tales.

Good Points
