Knaveheart’s Curse – New book for Tweens

Do you know a younger reader, in search of fresh fantasy?  Have you heard of the Vampire Island books?  The second book in the growing series, written for tweens, is called Knaveheart’s Curse.  The heroine of the book, Maddie Livingstone, a seventh grader, is a vegan fruit bat vampire.

Here’s a synopsis from Barnes and Noble.com:

A family of friendly vegetarian vampires stars in this funny story for middle-grade readers.

Being vegan vampires in New York City makes life complicated for siblings Maddy, Lexie and Hudson Livingstone. And this summer, things seem to be taking a turn for the worse for Maddy. She’s been having a hard time making friends, and now she might be losing the one she thought was guaranteed- her sister. Then her brother hears the scary news that the leader of the Knavehearts-the most vicious pureblood vampires-is in town seeking an heir. Could the Knave be after one of the Livingstones? And if it is, will unpopular Maddy be able to find anyone willing to help them face it?

Adele Griffin’s follow-up to Vampire Island is a thoroughly entertaining spin on vampire lore that will make readers laugh out loud.
