Tom is back in Middle School Bites #2: Tom Bites Back! Tom was bit by a vampire, a werewolf, and a zombie right before the first day of middle school. Pretty rough. At least his classmates seem to have accepted him! There are some cool things. Tom has night vision, and he’s super-fast and strong. Maybe life as a Vam-Wolf-Zom will be as EXCELLENT as his best friend, Zeke, predicted. But when the bat that bit Tom shows up and speaks to him, everything changes. Tom’s laugh-out-loud adventures continue as he navigates sixth grade despite being the only Vam-Wolf-Zom in the world. Created by an Emmy-nominated writer for SpongeBob. Today’s young readers can do so much better than acquainting themselves with the old school. After all, I couldn’t exactly relate to Montresor bricking his frenemy into a wall when I was 10 years old. The characters in these books face commonplace contemporary issues, perfect for youngsters learning to navigate this scary world. They explore themes like friendship, grief, and justice, all the while providing the thrills and chills morbid kids crave.
