di K. R. Alexander (Autore)

Scholastic Inc., 2027

From master storyteller K.R. Alexander, a spine-tingling tale of a friendship with a vampire that could have very deadly consequences... A strange family has moved in next to Carly. Their houses aren't exactly close, but from her bedroom window, Carly can see what's going on there... especially if she uses binoculars. The last neighbors were boring. But these neighbors are mysterious. Carly never sees them by day. And even at night... she only sees one kid living there. She might leave it at that... but then people in town start to go missing. Carly feels she should warn the kid. Or maybe she's just looking for an excuse to meet him. Ren seems very reluctant to open the door... but he also is too lonely not to. Carly feels there's something off about him -- and it gets even weirder when she accidentally cuts her finger. But... they connect. Carly's lonely too. A friendship forms. The problem is: People keep disappearing. One kid is found in a coma, a bite mark on his neck. Which can only mean one thing: Vampires. Carly starts to suspect Ren of having a double life. At first he denies being a vampire... but then Carly tricks him into revealing himself. Okay, he says, he IS a vampire -- but he has not been hunting down people in town. At first Carly doesn't believe him -- after all, he lied about being a vampire in the first place. Then one of her friends from school disappears while Carly is with Ren -- she is his alibi. So there's another vampire around, who is much, much deadlier than Ren. Ren and Carly set out to track down the vampire. They discover the place where the vampire is keeping his/her prey -- the people have lost enough blood to be comatose, but not enough to die. Ren explains that if they're not somehow woken by the next full moon, they will all become vampires. So it's a race against time to save the bloodsucked and to contain the vampire threat once and for all. (And meanwhile, of course, Carly and Ren grow closer and closer - which contains its own danger.)
