Last week I started reading The Chronicles of Vladmir Tod: Eight Grade Bites. Lately, I'd been into the fantasy/realistic fiction genre. So, I was recommended this series. After I picked up the first book, I'd become instantly hooked. The story is about a thirteen year old vampire whose parents have died, and is being raised by his aunt, who knows he's a vampire. However, no one else knows that he is a vampire, except for his best friend, Henry. Life is hard for Vladmir, as he is unpopular among the students and performs poorly in school. However it becomes even harder for Vladmir as a new substitute teacher acts strangely around Vladmir. Vladmir is worried that the substitute teacher, Otis will discover his secret. An at one point he becomes dangerously close. What will happen? Will Vladmir be able to survive one whole year without any suspicion, or will he be discovered of his terrifying secret? Read to find out!
The characters are very diverse in The Chronicles of Vladmir Tod: Eight Grade Bites. A lot of them have a very different personality. However there was one thing common among all characters in Eight Grade Bites: nobody is perfect, or right all the time. Each character has one or multiple flaws, despite their harsh circumstances. which has to be understood as the reader reads this. For example, even though the central character Vladmir has a tough life, he still has some flaws. Vladmir is often too careless with his powers and can be very irresponsible at times. Even Nelly, his caring aunt, has some flaws. She can be overprotective sometimes and yet careless of what her nephew does. Understanding this in the book will help readers understand the characters intentions and their personalility more.
This book seems extremely interesting. I really like fantasy/realistic fiction genre too. I think that I might read this book. Also, how long is the book? I usually like reading books that are around 300 pages. And, is this a series? Overall, I really liked the post and I am glad that I read it.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't read realistic fiction, but your blog was really well written with a lot of good suspense.
