Fake Blood

If you're a bit of a paranormal geek like me, you'll appreciate this book with its references to vampires and werewolves (and cultural stereotypes about them). It's about a middle school boy who's uncomfortable in his own skin, so he tries to be someone else - and that backfires. This book is thick, well-made, has beautiful (and quirky) art. It's witty, fun, and heartfelt, and the characters feel unique. My favorite is the teacher. The end felt a little anti-climatic to me, but overall I enjoyed it quite a bit. There was more to enjoy going back through it the second time.

Middle school can be a tumultuous time - navigating disagreements with friends, crushes, and tough teachers. Fake Blood is a cute, fun story that lovingly evokes those years with a few added twists. The artwork is fresh and colorful, I enjoyed the facial expressions. Although it's targeted at kids, the story has a positive message for both kids and adults without being too heavy-handed about it.

AJ is feeling a little lost heading into 6th grade but is happy when he gets paired up with his crush Nia Winters. Thinking he could impress her (because she likes vampires) by pretending to be a vampire leads to trouble! Very solid and readable graphic novel.

Great, easy read for anyone age 12 up. My daughter read it for a book club and loved it. She finished it with a couple of hours.

I ended up reading this with my daughters and we all really loved it. The art is great and the writing always feels natural. Can’t wait for more from it’s creator.

wow wow wowsuch a wonderful book. my son and i couldn't stop reading it. cute and funny, well written and drawn.loved the fact that it was colorful and big.

Daughter loved this book she has a whole collection she read it in two days a good one to add to the bookshelf!

He had half of the book read the same day. I guess for him being a comic book style book, he loved it.

Uma HQ muito fofa, cheia de referência a Crepúsculo e Buffy. Li super rápido e valeu muito. Tem um espaço especial na minha estante.

My daughter loved it but finished it in 1 go ...

Great product, thanks.
