From a National Book Award finalist comes a lively new spin on the
classic vampire tale.
When old-world dangers threaten a race of fruit bat hybrids, where can
they run to? New York City, of course! And that's where we meet the
Livingstone kids - Lexie, Hudson, and Maddy - trying to blend their
"vampireness" with the regular people of the city. Unfortunately, their
vampire traits keep complicating things.
Lexie's super speed, amazing strength, and poetry-quoting habit
embarrass her in front of classmates - and her secret crush. Hudson can
fly and is determined to save the planet, but with a vocabulary from the
wrong century, he doesn't quite fit in. And then there's Maddy, who has
a hard time sticking to her vegetarian diet, and an even harder time
convincing her siblings that their new neighbors are vampires.
With all these challenges, will Lexie, Hudson, and Maddy ever be able to
navigate the normal world?
