InNew York Timesbestselling author Kalynn Bayron's middle grade series, vampires were history . . . until now.

A sharp vampire tale full of bite, heart, and humor. --Rena Barron, author of the Maya and the Rising Dark series

Boog and her friends will capture your heart in an instant. --Mark Oshiro, #1New York Timesbestselling coauthor ofThe Sun and the Star

Malika Boog Wilson and her best friends have grown up idolizing The Vanquishers, a group of heroic vampire hunters who wiped out the last horde of the undead decades ago. Nowadays, most people don't take even the most basic vampire precautions--the days of garlic wreaths and early curfews long gone--but Boog's parents still follow the old rules, much to her embarrassment.

When a friend goes missing, Boog isn't sure what to think. Could it be the school counselor, Mr. Rupert, who definitely seems to be hiding something? Or could it be something more dangerous? Boog is determined to save her friend, but is she ready to admit vampires might not be vanquished after all?

No one ever expected the Vanquishers to return, but if their town needs protection from the undead, Boog knows who to call.

Inspired byBuffy the Vampire SlayerandThe Watchmen, this adventure launches readers into the exciting world of the Vanquishers.
