Middle School Bites: Out for Blood

Middle School Bites: Out for Blood by Steven Banks is a humorous and action-packed story that continues the wild adventures of Tom, an eleven-year-old who happens to be part vampire, part werewolf, and part zombie.

As if navigating sixth grade wasn't hard enough, Tom is now being hunted by the werewolf who bit him. Joining a wolf pack could mean freedom from the pressures of middle school—no more history reports or detentions—but it would also mean leaving behind the things he loves: his friends, his band, and Annie, his maybe-possibly-someday girlfriend. Not to mention his sister, Emma, who (despite being a pain) might just be worth sticking around for.

When the vampire who bit him reappears with a warning about the dangerous werewolf, Tom faces a tough choice: embrace his supernatural side or try to make it through middle school, one awkward moment at a time. Full of humor, heart, and plenty of middle school mayhem, this story is about learning to be yourself—even when you're not entirely sure what that is.
