Little vampire shakes things up at school
This comic picture book cleverly demonstrates the dangers of being swayed by popular opinion. New boy Peter is quickly branded the baddest boy in school and it does indeed seem that he’s given to doing naughty things. So when the school’s pet rat goes missing from his cage, everyone assumes Peter is responsible. Only one person knows the truth, and that Peter’s bad behaviour is not what it seems either. The book explores the dynamics of any classroom while also showing us that strange or different doesn’t equal bad and that categorising people on assumptions is never a good idea. Peter is a very charming little character, with his cape, fangs and lacy collar, and the story is beautifully told by its mystery narrator. Original, memorable, and lots of fun.
Everyone says Peter is the baddest boy in school. He likes strange food, wears strange clothes and does strange things.
In fact, Peter is a vampire.
So when the class gerbil goes missing, Lucy lets Peter take the blame, even though she knows it wasn't anything to do with him...
Friendship and celebrating difference is at the heart of this tale in which Lucy must decide whether to do the right thing or the easiest thing.
