Book description
Life has never been more complicated for thirteen-year-old Marcus.
It's not easy trying to hide your secret identity as a half-vampire,
avoid garlic at all costs, AND work up the courage to ask a girl out.
Especially when that girl is vampire-crazy Tallulah.
Plus, Marcus's parents are still convinced his special power is
going to arrive any day now. And they're trying not to show their
disappointment every time another day passes and it doesn't appear -
but Marcus is totally feeling the pressure.
As if that wasn't bad enough, a seriously creepy Winter Fair has
arrived in town - and a number of terrifying attacks have started
happening. Giles believes a super-evil sect of Deadly Vampires is
behind them, and Marcus suspects an eerie ventriloquist at the Fair.
All Marcus wants is an easy life. But now it's up to him to save the
day . . .
