Frankie D, Vegan Vampire by Sally Dutra

Frankie D, Vegan Vampire by Sally Dutra

Frankie D and his family have just moved from Transylvania, looking for a fresh start. Where Frankie is from, the school day began at midnight and ended at dawn. Now in America, Frankie and his family must adjust their sleep schedule, train to be out in the sun, and strictly adhere to a vegan, zero-blood diet. Not only that, Frankie has to navigate school as the 'new kid' and keep his vampire identity secret from other humans. A tall order for a deathly pale, fanged fourth-grader with a three-legged wolf as a pet! Brian and Sally Dutra's entertaining series offers a whole new take on what it means to be an outsider. With so many playful twists on vampire tropes, a compelling plot (with a cliffhanger ending!) and loads of deadpan humor, this book is sure to have enormous appeal for early readers. Tiffani Brown's black-and-white illustrations on every spread bring just the right amount of vampire creepiness to the story, tempered by just the right amount of humor. Frankie's open nature and kindness toward others is endearing, and his difficulties trying to navigate a new life while still being true to himself will be relatable to all children. The story highlights important themes of friendship, family, dealing with bullies and adjusting to a new place. It also offers terrific character education lessons on adaptability, initiative and empathy.

Dutra, Sally: - Brian and Sally Dutra met doing comedy improvisation in Los Angeles, CA. They are seasoned writers with many credits in their portfolio living in the Pacific Northwest. They have a love of children, humor and all things wacky and wild. Because Sally's been living with Multiple Sclerosis for the last 30 years and she loves comedy - she's a stand-up comedian who has to sit down. Brian is an accomplished screenwriter, gifted singer and dancer. Now they are taking their love for children into the world of children's books - Andy the Snake Bakes a Cake and No! I Don't Want A Baby Sister are their first picture books.
