Fat Vampire by Adam Rex

Fat Vampire by Adam Rex
324 pages


LOVED this book! Doug is a doughy 15-year-old who is turned into a vampire. He cannot help but dread the eternal life lived as an awkward, overweight boy hoping to find love as he begins his training. Gotta say though, didn't care at all for the ending, though the humor definitely made it a worthwhile read.
