How to Be a Vampire (R.L. Stine's Ghosts of Fear Street)
Description
Life was pretty average for Andrew until the morning he woke up undead. First there were bite marks on his neck. Then he tried to eat garlic—but that didn’t work out so well. And now he’s got this weird urge to sleep upside down. Andrew doesn’t mind turning into a vampire until he meets his vampire teacher. He isn't ready to sleep in a coffin or drink blood, but does he have a choice? Andrew’s kind of excited about being a vampire at first. He’ll get to fly, stay up all night, and totally scare his sister. But when he meets his vampire teacher, Andy realizes that being a vampire isn’t as all it’s cracked up to be.
