EL, MS – ADVISABLE
12 yo Emma-Rose Paley has a deep love for everything dark and gothic – something her pastel mother totally doesn’t understand. When her great-aunt Margo arrives from Transylvania, Emma thinks that she has discovered the reason she is so different – she just might be a vampire! She sure hopes so. Her best friend, Gabby thinks that she is crazy and this causes a rift between the girls. Uber-cute Henry Greene, however, thinks that she just may have something.
This is one of the first books out in a new Scholastic imprint – Poison Apple – very cool , very hip, very young. The books that I have read are right on quality with Betty Ren Wright and Mary Downing Hahn. If these authors are popular in your school, feel confident in adding these.

Hi Amy:
I would say they are about the same. The Poison Apple series from Scholastic covers all kinds of supernatural stuff on an upper elementary level. I've really liked them. I know you can get them online from Amazon or other books sellers. I don't know about your local booksellers - but you might check the library. Here is a link to my own list of great vampire book at all ages and reading levels:
