The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod:

Eighth Grade Bites

Heather Brewer

::シリーズの紹介::

Vlad has to keep his vampire urges under control while dealing with the pressures of middle school.
Thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod really hates junior high. Bullies harass him, the principal is dogging him, and the girl he likes prefers his best friend. Oh, and Vlad has a secret: His mother was human, but his father was a vampire. With no idea of the extent of his powers, Vlad struggles daily with his blood cravings and his enlarged fangs. When a substitute teacher begins to question him a little too closely, Vlad worries that his cover is about to be blown. But then he faces a much bigger problem: He’s being hunted by a vampire killer.

DRAMA!

DRAMA!

Paul Ruditis

1. The Four Dorothys
2. Everyone's a Critic
3. Show, Don't Tell
4. Entrances and Exits

Every performance needs a little scandal and . . .

DRAMA!

Spawned from Hollywood's A-list glitterati, nearly every student at the exclusive Orion Academy is a singer, dancer, model, or actor -- with the ego to match. So how do you fit so many budding stars into one school musical?

Multi-cast, of course. It's a Wizard of Oz like no other: four Dorothys, two Scarecrows, two Glindas, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Every "star" gets a moment in the spotlight.

Meanwhile, Bryan Stark, narrator extraordinaire, needs to shed some light on a more scandalous plot. Dorothys are mysteriously dropping out of the show, one after the other. If Bryan doesn't figure out why, there may be no one left to click her heels by opening night. . . .

Drama!シリーズ。

演劇系に特化したセレブ学校オリオンアカデミーを舞台にした学園モノ。

主人公は、

………意外にもブライアンという演劇部に所属する男です。（ゲイです。っていう情報はいらないか。笑）

演劇が中心になってる話なので、ドラマ見てないけどGleeとかああいう雰囲気がちょっとあります。

英語の辞書より文中に登場する作品やシーンなんかをYou Tubeで見たりしてインターネット検索する楽しみのある本かも。

The Chronicles of Vladimir Todシリーズ。全５巻。

４巻セットが発売されてるのを見ると５冊目はアンコール続編出版な１冊なのかも。

ヴァンパイア学園モノで、

母に人間、父にヴァンパイアを持つハーフヒューマン、ハーフヴァンパイアの少年、Vladimir Todの物語。

カバーデザインが印象的なシリーズ。

ロゴマーク的な牙のはえたスマイリーのTシャツが著者のサイトから通販で買えるようになっていたりします。地味に欲しい（笑）

そういう著者は、美人なゴス姉さんで、そこも気になる（笑）
