An exciting and hilarious new middle grade story for anyone who likes (or doesn't like) vampires!
Buffy Summers is just like any other student...except for the part where she's also a secret vampire slayer. In every generation, one girl is granted great strength to stand against the forces of darkness. Of course, power doesn't matter when it comes to eating lunch alone, getting picked on by the popular kids, or having way too much homework.
Luckily, Buffy finds her way with a can-do attitude, a weird Watcher, and new besties, Sarafina and Alvaro—who might just have powers of their own. But will any of it be enough to turn the tide when an army of villainous vampires invade town? Can Buffy save herself, let alone the world?
Like Star Wars: Jedi Academy and DC Comics' Secret Hero Society, this action-packed and fun-filled story is told through comics, journal entries, class notes, doodles, text messages, and other in-world artifacts.

      Iconic vamp-stamper Buffy gets a middle school makeover. Reimagined as a preteen middle schooler, Buffy Summers and her newly divorced mother move from sunny California to cold and dreary Cleveland. Her new school, she quickly learns, is quite unusual. In this Buffy-verse, Cleveland is located on a Heckmouth (a tempered nod to the original Hellmouth) and is plagued with thirsty but not-too-bright vampires. School librarian Miss Sparks stuns Buffy when she divulges that she is a Watcher and that Buffy is a Slayer. Aided by new BFFs Alvaro and Sarafina, Buffy sets out to fight the mysterious and powerful Primum Dominum vampire before he makes snacks out of her classmates during a solar eclipse. With a light touch and a fast pace, this mix of fizzy journal entries, playful comics panels, and OMG-laden text messages is sure to please fans of both epistolary novels and vampire fare. Although Buffy stakes many vampires, the violence is nearly nonexistent, as the undead benignly evaporate into clouds of bats. Buffy's problems are solidly of the middle-class suburban ilk: mean girls with designer handbags, oodles of preteen angst, and predictable classroom and cafeteria mishaps. With its illustrations rendered in grayscale, Buffy appears to be white, and her two best friends present with darker-toned skin, although their races are not overtly specified. This breezy re-envisioning will prime the younger set for the real thing. (Graphic fantasy. 8-12)
