Fang of the Vampire

برای یه کار کودک بد نبود. مجموعه ای از حوادث مهیج پی دی پی. شخصیت پردازی خلی ضعیفی داشت. یه سلام چطوری بیا باهم دوست و همراه بشیم وآدم بده رو مغلوب کنیم. تو هر صفحه سه چهارتا اتفاق می افتاد. با این حجم از طرفدار توی قشر کودک و نوجوان برای این مجموعه خیلی کنجکاو بودم ببینم چیه. توقع داشتم یه جور اسپایدرویک باشه. ولی این کجا و آن کجا. حالا دوستان نوید اینو دادن که از جلد دوم داستان خیلی بهتر میشه. در آینده ادامه میدم ببینم چطوره

I quite like the tv show of this, so I'm interested in this series. Give me gothic paranormal feeling cartoons any day!

I loved♡ this book because you really don't know whats going to happen. This book is perfect for 4th or 5th graders. If you liked this book you would like mystery books. The story is about a boy that is a werewolf and he hurts people when he tures in to one. He has to go to screem street and he meats friends but he and his parents want to get out. So they try to find their way out.

For a children book, this was really good.

I always shake my head at people who say they don't like series. Are they crazy? Nothing makes me happier than encountering a new series with an excellent concept and knowing I'll be able to return to it again and again. Scream Street is one such series, about Luke Watson the werewolf, Rhesus Negative the vampire and Cleo Farr the mummy. They all live in Scream Street, home to all kinds of supernatural creatures like surfer zombies and farting goblins. <br /><br />I loved this from cover to cover - the excellent characters, the escapades of the three main characters, and really, what's not to love about farting goblins? Scream Street really is the perfect book for kids aged seven and up who like a bit of ghoulish fun, and I can see myself recommending it over and over again. This is one series I'm really happy to have finally started on, and I can't wait to devour the rest of them.

Read most of this while hanging out with Remi in the kid's library today. (He got really engrossed with a Smurfs comic book, of all things). After reading this book, several Galaxy Zack books and an Ook and Gluk spinoff of Captain Underpants, I can only conclude that the majority of authors of modern early chapter books don't write women very well. Mothers are always fainting or doing the dishes; best friends who are girls are always wrestling with their fixations on romance and makeup. I can only imagine its worse in the girl-oriented books. Something should be done about this, by glob.

These books are really short and quick to read, great story and fun characters. I think I'm going to buy the second book

A cute, fast-paced story with a solid premise that leaves a lot of worldbuilding questions hanging. Recommend for elementary readers who want action and a relatively challenging vocabulary. Slight reservation for the villain being characterized as fat in an uncomfortable way. I did laugh at several lines, and the action makes for a quick read.<br /><br />This book has a really solid and interesting premise that would make a great YA novel. Either the age group is not expected to have questions, though, or the writer wasn't as interested in answering my burning questions, or that comes later in the series. Because I have SO MANY QUESTIONS. Which I will share here, with my other thoughts, because...hey, it's social media. It's what we do. I would be *so quick* to buy a version of this with more character development and contemporary themes and more development on the world, if the author wants to get that published.<br /><br />SPOILERS**** Below<br /><br />Ok, first question. Main character is a werewolf (yay! We always need more werewolf stories). How/why? Doesn't seem to run in his family. Doesn't seem to be a curse. Not addressed at all.<br /><br />He's established early on as a good guy. He transforms and attacks some bully for picking on a girl in some way. Again, in an aged-up version, we could really talk about the gender-politics of violence in the everyday world--because that happens before the novel opens in the "real world." Great theme to pick up. No? Ok. :(<br /><br />Somehow, this third transformation gets the main character and his parents abducted by faceless minions and taken to a different "world" (Dimension?? Which feels like an odd choice to me) with all their stuff. This world, Scream Street, is billed by its founders, apparently, as a haven for the supernatural where they can live without fear. This has SO MUCH POTENTIAL for raising a discussion about sanctuary vs segregation/ghettos/concentration camps/discriminatory housing. The place is also being run by a creepy (and unfortunately depicted as fat) landlord who has shut off the electricity and is basically an enormous bully, who is a man without supernatural powers of his own, who nevertheless has been telling these people what to do for years without, say, prompting a violent revolution and the guillotine. Because reasons. Again, why would a haven for supernatural creatures set up an ordinary man as a landlord? Racism, anyone? The "other" being suppressed by the "ordinary"? Which brings me back to my other questions. WHO decides who gets sent here? How did they know about this boy? Did someone cover up for the missing adults and child, or are their workplaces and schools going to spend the next few weeks looking for them? What do their friends think happened to them? Who has the authority to send the abductors there to move people? Why did anyone create this system? Someone please ask because I am dying to know!<br /><br />Okay, on with the plot. The nice boy and his parents are bewildered by this move. Again, why didn't they get, say, a notice in the mail or from a social worker? Who's in charge of that? And some vampires welcome them, including their son (who isn't Really a vampire, and just pretends), and then the MC's mom gets hurt in a poltergeist attack, and our noble MC decides he might like this place, but it's too much for his parents and he has to send them home. Which sounds like SUCH a YA plot, and could totally make some queer parallels here, (and we could totally have the parents join the quest and do better than expected and grow in their acceptance, etc.)and I really expected more angst, but they have to go meet the mummy girl and get started on their quest.<br /><br />Why is the girl a mummy? Does she remember having her organs removed (her organs being elsewhere is a plot point)? Was she cognizant while that process was being done? Does she remember being a living girl? Who knows, who cares, we have books to steal and farting goblins to deal with and the fang of an ancient vampire to acquire and a landlord that three 8-10 year-olds are going to beat up. She's experimenting with makeup (because I guess she didn't get any of that in (presumably Egypt?)????) and is action-oriented about everything. (I have similar questions about the former classroom anatomy skeleton that teaches "school." I have OTHER questions about how two (real? dead?) vampires create a child, but I don't expect them to be answered because this is a book for elementary school children.)<br /><br />Okay, the best bits were "the spiders were vacuuming" and the mummy girl getting stabbed, the MC freaking out about it, and the mummy girl being cool because "my heart's in a gold casket in my bedroom." Delightful.<br /><br />(Her bedroom? Does she have a whole house to herself? Does she have parents?)<br /><br />So many questions.

اگه منِ ۱۲,۱۳ ساله می‌خوندش، مطمئنا بهش پنج‌ستاره می‌داد، لذا به امتیاز داده‌شده چندان توجه نکنید.<br />در صورتی که توی رنج سنی‌ش هستید، بخونید و به نوجوون‌های اطرافتون هم پیشنهادش بدید. سراسر خلاقیته و حسابی هم بامزه‌ست.<br />دوستش داشتم. :)
