AJ, a bookworm, wallflower 6th grader, decides to pretend he's a vampire in order to impress his vampire-obsessed crush. As it turns out Mia is a slayer, and she totally buys that AJ's a creature of the night.

With cute illustrations and a fairly silly plot, this was a fun graphic novel. I question it being shelved in my library's Children's Graphic Novels, as some of the themes are a little mature and it is kind of scary and violent when Mia decides to kill AJ. There's also a kidnapping.

SPOILERS

I was a bit unclear whether the book would actually turn out to be supernatural (it is), and I was a little concerned Mia only thought she was a slayer because of "reading too many books and watching too many movies." With some of the things I've been seeing in the news about kids thinking they are "destined" to murder other kids, I was a bit squeamish with this plot line. Mia ultimately decides she "isn't read to kill" anyone, but there is not a great explanation about where Mia got the information she was a slayer.

So, ultimately fun, but not one of my favorites.
